Cactus Club Cafe

When I started this blog, I decided not to write about chain restaurants. BUT, I felt like dish deserved a shout out because it's my absolute favourite at Cactus Club and I often get cravings for it.

Butternut Squash Ravioli with Prawns

The raviolo (yes, I had to look up the plural form for "ravioli") are stuffed with mashed butternut squash and mascarpone, topped with sauteed prawns and crispy sage, and covered with truffle butter and crushed pine nuts. I've actually had this dish at three different Cactus Club locations now and I haven't been disappointed. The saltiness of the truffle butter sauce brings out the sweetness in the butternut squash filling. The crispiness of the sage leaf creates a good texture that balances out the chewiness of the prawns and the softness of the raviolo.

I do tend to like "truffle" anything. It's one of my guilty pleasures.

The truffle butter does make this dish very rich, so I would recommend either ordering the starter size or sharing the entree size if you want to try it out.
