Oh Trader Joe’s, you’ve done it again.

First it was the cauliflower gnocchi obsession, then the Dark russet potato chips and now your delicious sweet corn, burrata & basil ravioli.

I bought these Trader Joe’s sweet corn ravioli on a whim, not really sure what to do with them and definitely not expecting to make a blog worthy post with them.

I paired the corn ravioli with a browned butter lemon sauce with some zucchini, fresh mozzarella and toasted walnuts.

Guys…my husband LOVED them. Could not stop raving about them. So I thought if John liked them, I better make this into a blog post since they’re that good ;).

And aside from these corn ravioli being delicious, it’s a quick and easy vegetarian dinner, perfect for summer. Light, cheesy, buttery and a little crunchy…all the right things.

Sweet Corn Ravioli Ingredients:

Trader Joe’s sweet corn ravioli (if you can’t find them, regular ravioli will work too!)
butter
yellow onion
garlic
fresh corn
zucchini and/or yellow squash
lemon
toasted nuts (walnuts or pine nuts)
fresh mozzarella or burrata cheese

How to make the brown lemon butter sauce for the corn ravioli:

Cook ravioli according to package directions. Reserve 1/2 cup of the pasta water before draining.
Melt butter in a large saute pan. Keep melting until it starts and foam and turn brown (not burn!).
Add onion, zucchini, garlic and corn. Cook, stirring occasionally until vegetables are slightly browned, about 25-30 minutes.
Stir in lemon juice, basil, nuts and mozzarella. Add about 1/4 cup of the reserved pasta water. Add more if needed.
Toss sauce over ravioli and serve with more fresh basil if desired.

As mentioned earlier if you don’t have access to the Trader Joe’s sweet corn ravioli, regular cheese ravioli will work just as well!

You can use regular canned sweet corn just make sure you drain it first.

This dish is perfect for a quick summer dinner. You can even make the lemon brown butter sauce a day ahead if you’d like.

If you’re not watching carbs, a nice chunk of crusty bread goes well to mop up those delicious juices 😉 and a glass of white wine (of course!)
