alternative to browned butter sauce on pumkin ravioli?

[drdawn]

I happily have some pumlin and amaretti ravioli frozen from the weekend's efforts. the recipe suggests a buerre noisette with sage and a bit of cream. it's perfect except i've had that last time and now i'm feeling chubby and I've had far, far too much butter recently.

any suggestions for some alternative? I would say lighter, but if its not butter alone ,surely it will be by definition lighter...

perhaps a pumpkin seed and tomatillo sauce.

If it wasn't for the amaretti, I'd suggest pesto. As it is, I'd go with a ginger/spiced broth, or a yogurt sauce http://www.thegutsygourmet.net/yogurt... (don't boil or it will curdle).

not healthy, but how about serving it with a blue cheese sauce? cream, butter, and some blue cheese? I love pumpkin with blue cheese <3

OP indicated she was watching calories and was looking for "butter" alternatives.

Interesting flavor idea, though.

I made a butternut squash ravioli variation on this recipe at Thanksgiving, and the clams and their broth were one of the best parts of the dish--satisfying even without the sage brown butter, I'd think.

How about a wild mushroom broth?

[maria lorraine]

Serve them en brodo, in broth.
Reduced, concentrated chicken stock works.

i was gonna suggest this as well: http://www.bigoven.com/9738-Pumpkin-Ravioli-in-Chicken-Broth-recipe.html or http://www.bigoven.com/132346-Pumpkin-Ravioli-with-Leek-And-Sage-Broth-recipe.html

here's another interesting idea, this pumpkin seed sauce, but i would substitute fat free half and half for the cream... http://www.yumyum.com/recipe.htm?ID=17544

Maybe a white sauce made with low-fat milk and infused with ginger and nutmeg? Or pesto (might want to leave out the garlic if it'll clash with the sweetness of the amaretti)?

I know it's not traditionally served this way, but I would happily eat pumpkin ravioli with a olive oil, sun-dried tomato, garlic and onion pan sauce.
