Halloween may be over but pumpkins are still in season... in ravioli that is! If you're a local San Franciscan, swing by Lucca Ravioli Company on Valencia street for a box of delicious house made pumpkin ravioli. Lucca has been making ravioli at their Valencia street location for over 80 years plus they have their own parking lot which is an added bonus for busy Moms. For my friends and family in Philadelphia, Di Bruno Bros. near Rittenhouse Square carries pumpkin ravioli.
Pumpkin ravioli sounds exotic but don't be fooled, it's a great dish for kids! It's easy to prepare, they love it and it's chock full of vitamins A, C and K.
I told my sons they were eating pumpkin pie pasta for dinner and they gobbled it up. Pumpkin ravioli is extremely easy to prepare - toss cooked ravioli with a simple butter sauce. I suggest a melted browned butter with sage leaves that have been cooked to a crisp in the hot butter with salt to taste.
