Bruno’s has been making homestyle ravioli for decades, now with Bruno’s Pasta Company, it’s easier to enjoy the taste of our homestyle cooking than ever before. We handle the fresh ingredients and careful preparation. All you have to do is heat it, plate it, and pair it with your favorite sauce. Because we’re experts in all things ravioli, we know that sometimes picking the best sauce can be difficult. That’s why we’re here to help. Today in our capacity as pasta professionals and bosses of sauce, we’ll be awarding the bronze, silver, and gold medals for ravioli sauce.

HONORABLE MENTION

Not every sauce makes it to the winner’s podium, but we wouldn’t be able to sleep at night if we didn’t give an honorable mention to an often-overlooked sauce, brown butter with herbs. Making it couldn’t be easier—just melt a knob of butter until dark over medium heat, then mix with flour, herbs, spices, and lemon juice. This recipe is very flexible, so try it with whatever herbs and spices are your favorite!

BRONZE MEDAL

Sometimes when you’re enjoying a ravioli with a milder filling, like spinach, you can use a stronger flavor in the sauce without overwhelming the dish. That’s where our bronze medal winner shines–Alfredo sauce! Silky, cheesy, and buttery, Alfredo sauce is a perfect pairing for any veggie ravioli.

SILVER MEDAL

Our silver medal winner goes to a sauce that supports both meat and vegetable alike, the salty and supportive pesto. The basil and oil work as a flavor multiplier to make any ravioli shine. Writing this is making us hungry, but before we go and enjoy some ravioli, we’ve got to announce our gold medal winner…

GOLD MEDAL

In a contest like this, sometimes it can be easy to lose sight of an important truth. Food is a personal expression of who you are. It’s a reflection of your choices, your values, the way you want to nourish yourself. When you share a meal with friends and loved ones, no matter how simple, you’re sharing a part of who you are. At Bruno’s, we think that’s beautiful, which is why the gold medal has to go to whatever sauce you like best.

Unfortunately, that’s a cop-out so the gold medal actually goes to tomato sauce. Congratulations, tomato sauce!
