  3. Add the minced garlic to the pan and sauté for 1–2 minutes until fragrant.

  5. Remove from heat and stir in grated Parmesan cheese until melted.
  6. Fold the drained butternut squash ravioli into the creamy maple sauce, ensuring each piece is coated.
  7. Plate while still hot, garnished with extra Parmesan cheese and chopped sage.
