Step 1
Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil.
Step 2
Melt butter in a 10-inch skillet over medium heat, swirling often until it turns golden and smells nutty, about 4 minutes.
Step 3
Add sage leaves to the brown butter and cook until fragrant and edges crisp slightly, about 60 seconds.
Step 4
Remove from heat and squeeze lemon juice into the pan. Set aside.
Step 5
Drop ravioli into boiling water and stir gently. Cook until they float and hold steady for 1 minute.
Step 6
Reserve 1/2 cup pasta water, then drain ravioli in a colander.
Step 7
Add ravioli to the brown butter sauce and toss gently, adding pasta water a splash at a time to emulsify.
Step 8
Divide between two bowls. Top with Pecorino Romano, cracked black pepper, and remaining sage.
