Ravioli with White Wine Butter Sauce and Asparagus Tips

This recipe for ravioli with white wine butter sauce shows how fresh ravioli is perfect with a delicate sauce and some tender asparagus tips.  Elegant and easy!

Ravioli with White Wine Butter Sauce and Asparagus Tips

This recipe all started a few weeks ago when the wonderful folks at Buitoni emailed me to say they were having fun reading my blog (Whee! I instantly love anyone who tells me that!  Don’t say I didn’t warn you!) and they wondered if I might wanted to work up a couple of recipes for them to go with some new pastas they had just come up with.

One was a chicken marsala ravioli, and the other was a butternut agnolotti.  Did I have any ideas?

Did I have any ideas?  When do I NOT have ideas?  I had many, many ideas.

So they sent me over some of their pasta so I could mess around with it in my kitchen, and just to help me along, they sent me one of these.

Framed Cooks with cutting board

I can always use a beautiful new cutting board, especially when it comes from my favorite cooking store on the planet, the fabulous JK Adams in my beloved state of Vermont.

Talk about finding your way into a girls heart…chicken marsala ravioli AND kitchen goods.  Now I was even more determined to do right by this ravioli.

Now, the ravioli itself is pretty dang fabulous – it’s fresh pasta stuffed with a mixture of chicken, marsala sauce, mushrooms and other good stuff you get in traditional chicken marsala.

So I wanted the sauce to be something nice and light that added to the elegant taste without overpowering the delicious taste of the ravioli stuffing.

I also wanted to be able to use some of the gorgeous summertime herbs and veggies that are all around us these days…and so with those two things in mind, I worked up an easy, silky white wine and butter sauce with a handful of fresh thyme and parmesan cheese to give it a little subtle kick.

And just for good measure and to make sure we got our veggies, I added in some asparagus tips (which you can cook for a minute or two right in the pasta water!).

All of this comes together in less than a half hour, making this an elegant dish for either a festive Saturday dinner party OR a treat at the end of a long regular old Tuesday.

So!  While this sauce will work perfectly well with pretty much any kind of ravioli, and you should definitely try it with the cheese variety too, I know you want to try it with the chicken marsala variety, right?

So here’s what I have for you: I have THREE vouchers for a free package of Buitoni refrigerated pasta (which will get you this scrumptious ravioli or any of their other chilled pastas), and not only that, I have three of those gorgeous JK Adams cutting boards to go along with it, all compliments of my friends at Buitoni.

Because you really need something beautiful to cut that asparagus up on.

Here’s what you need to do: Leave me a comment below telling me your favorite pasta dish (this way I also win, because I am always, always, always looking for new pasta ideas), and on Saturday I will do a special blog post announcing the lucky winners.

In the meantime, you don’t have to wait to make this scrumptious dinner, because the recipe is at the end of this post, and if you live in the Northeast or New England areas of the USA, the chicken marsala ravioli is waiting patiently for you in the refrigerated section of your supermarket.  (If you don’t, don’t worry, because again, this sauce works with whatever ravioli catches your fancy.)

And if you win, you’ll just have to make it again.  I know, ravioli with white wine butter sauce twice in a row…the things we have to do.  So here’s the recipe…bring on your pasta ideas!

This giveaway is now closed…but I’d still love to hear your pasta ideas if you have ’em!

Description

This recipe for ravioli with white wine butter sauce shows how fresh ravioli is perfect with a delicate sauce and some tender asparagus tips.


Ingredients

  • One 9 ounce package chilled fresh ravioli
  • One bunch asparagus (about 15-20 spears), trimmed and cut into two inch pieces. You can use just the tips or if you like lots of asparagus, use the stems as well!
  • 2 tablespoons coarse salt
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon minced shallots
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 6 tablespoons cold butter, cut into cubes
  • 3/4 cup white wine
  • 2 tablespoons fresh chopped thyme, plus more for garnish
  • Shaved parmesan cheese for garnish

Instructions

  1. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add salt and olive oil, and then asparagus. Cook asparagus until just crisp-tender, about 2 minutes, and remove asparagus with a slotted spoon, leaving the water boiling.
  2. Add one tablespoon of butter to a medium size skillet and melt over medium heat. Add shallots and garlic and stir until soft, 2-3 minutes.
  3. Stir in wine and simmer until reduced by half, about 2-3 minutes. Now add butter, cube by cube, stirring until each one is melted into the sauce.
  4. While the sauce is cooking, add the ravioli gently to the boiling asparagus water (I like to lower them in with a slotted spoon) and cook according to package directions until just done, about 6 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and put in a single layer on a plate until the sauce is finished.
  5. When all the butter is melted, stir in the chopped thyme.
  6. Divide the ravioli between two plates, and tuck the asparagus tips in between the ravioli. Drizzle a generous portion of sauce over each serving, garnish with fresh thyme and shaved parmesan and serve at once!

    Favorite pasta? Pasta Positano! I made up the name for a pasta recipe I found using spaghetti, olive oil, garlic (steeped in the oil), lemon juice, lemon zest, fresh basil, roasted grape tomatoes and, of course, parmesan cheese. It’s a lemony, summery delight which reminded me of Positano, the little town perched high above the Amalfi Coast.

    Favorite pasta dish of all time is blackened chicken alfredo..home made alfredo sauce tossed with tender pasta.. then I blacken flattened chicken breasts and slice them on the bias.. top the pasta with chicken and a sprinkling of fresh diced tomatoes (or if you like tomatoes like I do, more than a sprinkling).. its amazing. Maybe shave some parm on top of that… I think I just figured out whats for dinner tonight!

    My mother had two dishes that she could make: meatloaf and mashed potatoes and spaghetti and meatballs. Thus, I am a purist and associate spaghetti and meatballs with my dear mother and how she would make it for my birthday and homecomings from camp and assorted special occasions. She made the best meatballs. They were thick and hearty and huge, made from the highest grade of ground beef and rolled with onions and spices and had cheese in the middle. They were first cooked in the oven and then finished on the stove in a pot of marinara. She put them over pasta and generously sprinkled fresh grated parmesan reggiano over the top. It was my mother’s masterpiece.

    Although Gruyere mac & cheese is always up there, my newest favorite is a recipe off of Skinnytaste (http://www.skinnytaste.com/2008/03/meatball-and-spaghetti-soup-5-ww-pts.html). Doubled the recipe, switched out the ground turkey for ground beef, and I used beef broth. Oh. My. Goodness. It’s seriously spaghetti and meatballs as a yummy, comforting, tummy-filling soup.

    Oooh that looks good. I am going to have to go with linguine al pesto (again, like the spaghetti and meatballs fans, a little “common” but — hey! it’s summer!). In the winter, along with spaghetti and meatballs, I do a “pumpkin pasta” that is dead easy using canned pumpkin, garlic (and maybe onions? can’t remember) sage (or thyme or rosemary), cream (or fat-free half-and-half); with a thicker long noodle like bucatini. And parmesan duh.

    Pasta with robiola and pomodorini! Robiola is an Italian soft, creamy cheese, quite easy to find here in Italy (of course!), but I don’t know in the USA… try and search! I work robiola with a little oil to make it very creamy, then I put in a garlic glove, small cherry tomatoes (pomodorini) sliced in two, black olives, basil (NEVER cut basil with a knife….tear basil leaves with your fingers), sal and pepper. When pasta is cooked, I put it in with the robiola (don’t forget a little cooking water to amalgamate everything together) and that’s it! Wonderful, especially in summer!

    My favorite pasta is one I have made up myself. This makes a large batch, freezes great and goes well with any pasta (penne, spaghetti, bowties, etc)

    1pkg Hot Italian sausage (links or ground)
    1pkg Sweet Italian sausage (links or ground)
    1 jar spaghetti sauce (I use tomato, onion and garlic variety)
    1 med onion, chopped
    6-8 cloves of garlic, chopped
    1/2 c sundried tomatoes packed in olive oil, chopped
    1 small jar roasted red peppers, chopped
    1-2 c red wine (zin, cab, syrah, whatever you have on hand)
    1 small can or fresh mushroom (optional)
    red pepper flakes, to taste
    mozzarella cheese, grated
    parmesan cheese, shredded

    If using lnk sausage, remove from casings and combine in a large pot and brown. While browning sausage, add onions and garlic. Drain fat from the meat and add the rest of the ingredients except the cheese. Simmer for 30 minutes or longer to let the flavors blend. Top with a little mozzarella and parmesan!

    An all time fave that I can’t get anymore is my late father-in-law’s Turkey Tetrazzini. He was a hospital chef, and prided himself on making good food that was always simple and flavorful, both at work and home. Even if we had his recipes, we couldn’t match his years of experience at turning fresh ingredients into wonderful meals. Just one of the MANY reasons why we miss him!!

    This looks good, but my favorite pasta dish is probably roasted vegetables with pasta and a mozzarella/olive oil sauce. Yum.

    My #1 favorite pasta dish is my granny’s chicken spaghetti. Creamy, spicy, cheesy, deliciousness. Comfort food at its best.

    Since pasta is my favorite thing it is hard to pick one….so I’ll give you a few of my favorites.

    My first love is plain old spaghetti & meatballs but I have a few others that I love too.

    1) Spaghetti with Walnuts, Gorganzola & Sun-Dried tomatoes
    2) Chicken Enchilada Pasta
    3) Bucatini all’Amatriciana (Spaghetti with Tomato, Pancetta and Pecorino Romano Cheese) I made this in a Sur la Table cooking class and it is awesome and simple.
    4) Ravioli topped with kale sauteed in olive oil, white wine, tomatoes and garlic.

    I could keep going………..

    I love ravs, but my favorite pasta dish uses pesto and fresh garden peas (roasted tomatos, chicken, and other additions help too)! Your blog is so fun to read and very inspiring. Thanks!

    Fave pasta dish is capellini pomodoro using fresh Romas right out of the garden and basil from the herb pot. Don’t even cook the tomatoes; just chop them up and toss in some great olive oil and a little salt and pepper with the pasta and call it dinner. With a glass of wine, of course!

    My favorite pasta dish is lasagna. I make it with shredded fresh spinach mixed in with the ricotta, and cream cheese. I use 4 cheese Italian blend shredded cheese and a fire-roasted vegetable spaghetti sauce. In addition to the shredded cheese I also sprinkle some fresh greated parm/romano cheese and fresh chopped basil on top before baking. Yumm!!

    I like to chop a fresh garden tomato, mix with pesto, and put it on top of warm pasta with a little bit of past water. Add lots of salt and fresh ground pepper. Fast and easy.

    My favorite involves angel hair or orzo with fresh home grown tomatoes and summer squash, sliced Vidalia onions, a little olive oil, and fresh shredded Parmigiano Reggiano. Oh, and fresh garlic. Saute onions in oil until a wee bit browned, add chopped veggies and garlic, a splash of red wine, simmer for a few minutes, serve over freshly cooked pasta with plenty of cheese.

    I just found your website while searching for a simple pasta sauce for some chicken ravioli we had on hand. This sauce was perfect! It was simple, and I had everything on hand. Made the sauce while the water heated – the timing was great. Glad I found you – better late than never! Looking forward to following your blog. Happy holidays!

    Made today with fresh picked asparagus…added some pre-cooked mushrooms to the sauce, did not have thyme [I am at the cottage] so just put more pepper and garlic in.
    Very good and so easy. thank you.

    Pasta with vodka sauce is always the winner! Onions, garlic, and a jar of marinara, a splash of vodka, and some cream. Some things are best the simplest. From there you can add anything you want to dress it up, but you’ve got a great starter.

    It was just okay. My garlic/shallots burned before I could add in the rest of the butter. Wasn’t as flavorful as I thought it would be. Kind of disappointed :(

      Hey Lauren – I’m so sorry this didn’t work for you! But I appreciate the feedback, and I’m going to adjust the recipe to have that first step to suggest medium heat rather than medium high.

    My kids loved this dish! It was very flavorful with the wine. My only issue is that while cooking the sauce it suddenly started separating and just turning into a bunch of melted separated butter. So I would have stopped at 3 or 4 cubes had I known. I tried to fix it up on my own but didn’t do the best job. It still tasted good.

      Hi Beth! There are a few reasons that butter separates – first, unsalted butter seems to do this more easily than salted butter. And butter can separate if it decides the heat is too high, or if it’s not getting whisked enough. (Butter, you finicky thing, you!). If it happens again, you can usually fix it by lowering the heat and whisking in another tablespoon or two of the wine. Meantime, I’m so glad it tasted good, and that the kids loved it – I love getting the kiddo seal of approval! Happy cooking! :)
