Fri Jan 11 07:10:42 -0800 2008 94969 gramercyfoodie 1 3284443 The simplest is just some thin spaghetti with brown butter and some parmesan cheese which is sometimes the best. The most popular has to just be butternut squash (or sweet potato) ravioli with brown butter-sage sauce which I believe there's a recipe on chow for. You could probably deconstruct that if you like and make some sort of puree and toss it with fettuccine and brown butter and cheese or something. Good luck.

When I make the sage one, I also put some finely sliced fresh sage on top, in addition to the "fried" sage leaves.

Tue Jan 22 05:12:33 -0800 2008 3284546 94969 gramercyfoodie 4 3319565 I usually add the spaghetti/ravioli to the sauce briefly and toss or flip as appropriate.

And I make sure to get out all the little brown bits with a spatula when I serve the dish. Tue Jan 22 05:18:00 -0800 2008 3319569 10985 MMRuth 7 3319636 great tip - thx again! Tue Jan 22 05:52:47 -0800 2008 3319570 94969 gramercyfoodie 1 3284701 i have to admit that i love the old spaghetti factory's brown butter w/ mizithra spaghetti. some girlfriends and i made this one w/ some parsley and sauteed crimini mushrooms one night...densely caloric, but yummy!~ http://www.cdkitchen.com/recipes/recs/23/Spaghetti_with_Burnt_Butter38272.shtml Fri Jan 11 08:19:39 -0800 2008 3284411 56183 soypower 1 3319645 For Christmas Eve., my family went to Gaslight in Boston. There were no vegetarian entrees on the menu, but I had arranged ahead to have one for my son. They prepared a lovely vegetable ravioli with a brown butter sauce, toasted pine nuts and small pieces of roasted fig. It was really good.

Coat the ravioli and serve. This is one of the dishes I turn to when it's dinnertime, I'm hungry, and I haven't planned a meal. Tue Jan 22 14:15:22 -0800 2008 3284411 133968 rouxmaker 2 3321648 The ravioli actually cooks in the butter? Sounds like a great time saver - I always boil mine first.
