Fresh Ravioli with Butter, locally grown Nalo Farm Fresh Sage, Parmesan and Kiawe Smoked Hawaiian Sea Salt

Fresh Ravioli with Butter, locally grown Nalo Farm Fresh Sage, Parmesan and Kiawe Smoked Hawaiian Sea Salt

Ingredients

  • Molokai Kiawe Smoked Hawaiian Sea Salt 
  • Freshly ground black pepper 
  • 1 pound fresh Ravioli 
  • 2 tablespoons butter 
  • 30 fresh sage leaves 
  • 1 cup or more freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano
Preparation
  1. Bring a large pot of water to a boil; salt it. Cook ravioli until it is tender, but not quite done.
  2. Meanwhile, place butter in a skillet or saucepan large enough to hold the cooked pasta; turn heat to medium, and add sage. Cook until butter turns nut-brown and sage shrivels, then turn heat to a minimum.
  3. When the ravioli are just about done, scoop out a cup of the cooking water. Drain the pasta. Immediately add it to the butter-sage mixture, and raise heat to medium. Add 3/4 cup of the water, and stir; the mixture will be loose and a little soupy. Cook for about 30 seconds, or until some of the water is absorbed and the pasta is perfectly done.
  4. Stir in cheese; the sauce will become creamy. Thin it with a little more water if necessary. Season liberally with pepper and Kiawe Smoked Hawaiian Sea Salt to taste, and serve immediately, passing more cheese at the table if you like.
