Ingredients

Scale

Ravioli

  • 1 lb mushroom ravioli

Sauce

  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 cups mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Garnish

  • Extra Parmesan, for serving
  • Chopped fresh parsley, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Cook Ravioli: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the mushroom ravioli according to the package instructions until tender. Drain and set aside.
  2. Sauté Mushrooms and Garlic: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and minced garlic and sauté until the mushrooms are golden brown and fragrant, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Make Creamy Sauce: Pour in the heavy cream and chicken broth, then stir in the grated Parmesan cheese. Allow the sauce to simmer gently for about 5 minutes until it thickens slightly. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  4. Toss and Serve: Add the cooked ravioli to the skillet with the creamy mushroom sauce and gently toss to coat the pasta evenly. Serve immediately topped with extra Parmesan cheese and a sprinkle of chopped fresh parsley for a burst of color and flavor.

Notes

  • Use fresh mushrooms like cremini or white button for best flavor.
  • For a vegetarian version, substitute chicken broth with vegetable broth.
  • Do not overcook the ravioli as they can become mushy; follow package instructions closely.
  • Fresh parsley adds color and a fresh flavor contrast to the creamy sauce.
  • To make it lighter, use half-and-half instead of heavy cream but expect a less rich sauce.
