Butternut Ravioli with Bourbon Pecan Sauce image

Each year our family receives 25 pounds of pecans from a friend. With that many nuts, it requires some imagination to create different recipes in order not to tire of their goodness. These tender butternut ravioli draped in a rich bourbon pecan sauce is one way I beat recipe fatigue. -Michele Claybrook-Lucas, Media, Pennsylvania

This dish was a bit too sweet for my taste. I would recommend cutting back on the sugar in the sauce.
