Ingredients

1 (30 ounce) package cheese ravioli
1/2 cup mascarpone cheese
2 tablespoons butter
1 pinch ground black pepper

1 cup pumpkin puree
1/2 cup grated Pecorino Romano cheese
1 tablespoon brown sugar
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
2 teaspoons salt

Directions

1 Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil. Stir in ravioli and return to a boil. Cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, until ravioli float to the top and filling is hot, 6 to 8 minutes. Drain.
