Pumpkin Ravioli Sauce uses brown butter with Thai spice. peanut butter and lime juice for a deliciously unique combination.
Trader Joe’s has a great variety of ravioli. Honey Roasted Pumpkin Ravioli is one of my favorites. But I always struggle with how to sauce it. And then it hit me. Thai flavorings would pair really well with this sweet, earthy, fall favorite. I usually have red curry paste in my refrigerator. So I got creative and made this sauce with brown butter, red curry paste, peanut butter and lime juice. It is so good! And takes just a few minutes to prepare. This is a rich dish. Honestly a couple or three ravioli with some baked fish or air fryer chicken breasts and fresh, stir fried broccoli would make a fantastic meal. You definitely want to balance the richness of this dish with some lighter fare.

How to make Pumpkin Ravioli Sauce
Cook the ravioli according to package directions. While you are waiting on the water to boil and the ravioli to cook, make the sauce. Heat the butter over medium heat in a non-stick skillet until melted and starting to brown. Swirl the butter as it melts and heats until you see brown bits forming in the bottom of the skillet. Here’s a helpful post explaining how to brown butter.
Turn the heat to low, add the red curry paste and peanut butter. Stir until smooth. Remove the sauce from the heat and stir in the sugar, salt and lime juice. Feel free to add more curry paste if you like more spice. Stir in the cooked and drained pumpkin ravioli into the sauce. Serve immediately.
