In a large pan over medium heat, cook the bacon in a single layer, flipping a few times, until crispy, 10–12 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel–lined plate, drain the grease, and wipe the pan clean.
Add the butter to the same pan and melt over medium heat. Swirl often until golden and nutty, about 5 minutes. Add the sage leaves and cook until crisp, about 2 minutes.
Meanwhile, cook the ravioli in salted water according to package directions. Transfer directly to the brown butter using a slotted spoon. Season with salt and pepper and toss gently to coat.
Chop the bacon, then top each serving of ravioli with bacon, Parmesan, and chives.

Notes
Ravioli options: Butternut squash, pumpkin, or plain cheese ravioli all work great for this recipe.
Make it meatless: Skip the bacon for a vegetarian version; the brown butter and sage still add plenty of flavor.
