Sweet, Savory and Sexy for Valentines Day

Today, I wanted to cook in with my hubby. We had some other things to do earlier in the day, but a cozy night in seemed just right. We cooked Ravioli with Walnut Sage sauce

We usually buy frozen precooked cheese ravioli because it is much easier than making pasta from scratch.  First, boil water and follow directions to prepare pasta. The following ingredients are in the sauce....

1 cup chopped walnuts

1 package fresh sage leaves (I always buy fresh for this recipe, because the flavor is awesome!)

1 cup water

Combine walnuts and sage leaves in skillet with olive oil. Cook 5 minutes, then add water, turn up to high, and reduce until there is about half the water left. 

After sauce is cooked down, add 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar about a tablespoon honey. I dont measure honey, just add 2 large squirts from the bottle.  Cook sauce a few more minutes until combined. 

In larger pot, combine cooked cheese ravioli with sauce, and add 3/4 cup parmesan cheese. Toss to combine and serve.
