At the end of a long day, the last thing anyone wants to deal with is dinner. Culinary producer and host of TODAY All Day's Saucy series Anthony Contrino is joining us to share two of his go-to quick and easy pasta recipes. He shows us how to make four-ingredient butternut squash ravioli in a buttery sage sauce and fresh spinach pesto pasta with Pecorino cheese.

Tracy's Spinach Pesto

Confession: After a long day of cooking on set, the last thing I want to do is cook dinner for myself. I often head to my cousin Tracy's house. One of my favorite things she makes is this creamy spinach pesto — it's so easy to whip up and so delish!

This is the sort of dish you can make after a long day at work (it can be made from start to finish in less than 20 minutes!) but is bougie enough to serve at a dinner party. Although there are only four ingredients, each pairs perfectly with the others. Be sure to use European-style butter which has a higher percentage of fat!
