Creamy bacon and sage ravioli
25 min
Lovely and easy to make, this creamy sauce is a pleasant change from the traditional tomato sauce usually served with ravioli. It takes minutes to prepare but tastes special. This recipe uses shop-bought ravioli to save a little time.

Tip
I coined this recipe by turning another recipe inside out! Sometimes ravioli are stuffed with bacon and sage and served with a plain garlic butter sauce. I used that for my sauce and used the common ravioli.
