Ingredients
Scale
Pasta
- 1 pound of fresh ravioli (store-bought or homemade)
Sauce
- 2 tablespoons of olive oil
- 1 cup of sliced mushrooms (button or cremini work well)
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1 cup of heavy cream
- 1/2 cup of grated Parmesan cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Chopped fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Cook the Ravioli: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the fresh ravioli according to the package instructions, usually 3 to 5 minutes, until they float to the surface and are tender. Drain carefully.
- Sauté the Mushrooms: While the ravioli cooks, heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and sauté them for 5 to 7 minutes until they become golden brown and tender, releasing their moisture and developing deep flavor.
- Add Garlic: Stir in the minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute, just until fragrant, making sure not to burn the garlic as it can become bitter.
- Make the Cream Sauce: Pour in the heavy cream and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Let it cook for 3 to 4 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.
- Add Parmesan and Season: Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until it melts smoothly into the sauce. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste, adjusting the seasoning as needed.
- Toss Ravioli in Sauce: Add the drained ravioli directly into the skillet with the mushroom cream sauce, tossing gently but thoroughly so each piece is coated with the luscious sauce.
- Serve and Garnish: Transfer the sauced ravioli to serving plates and garnish generously with chopped fresh parsley for a bright, fresh finish.
Notes
- Use fresh ravioli for the best texture and flavor, but frozen works if cooked carefully.
- Button or cremini mushrooms provide an earthy taste, but shiitake or portobello can add more depth.
- Adjust cream and cheese quantities to make the sauce thicker or lighter depending on preference.
- For a lighter option, substitute heavy cream with half-and-half or whole milk, but sauce will be less rich.
- Serve immediately to enjoy the pasta at its best texture; leftovers can be refrigerated and gently reheated.
