Ingredients
Scale
Ravioli
- 18 ounces mushroom ravioli
Sauce
- 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced
- 3 whole garlic cloves, peeled or 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 2 cups low sodium chicken or vegetable broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Italian herb blend seasoning or Herbs de Provence
- ½-1 teaspoon salt, to taste
- ½ teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper (reduce to ¼ teaspoon if using ground black pepper)
Instructions
- Boil ravioli: Fill a large pot with 4 inches of water and bring to a boil. Add the mushroom ravioli and cook for 3 minutes. Drain and immediately blanch the ravioli by running cold water over it to stop cooking. Optionally, toss ravioli with 1 teaspoon olive oil to prevent sticking.
- Sauté mushrooms and garlic: In a large skillet, combine the butter, garlic, and sliced mushrooms. Sauté over medium-high heat for 3-4 minutes until mushrooms are tender and the garlic is fragrant.
- Add broth and cream: Stir in the low sodium broth, bringing the mixture to a simmer. Then stir in the heavy cream and continue to simmer until the sauce has reduced by half and becomes creamy, about 5-7 minutes.
- Season the sauce: Add the Italian herb blend seasoning, salt, and freshly cracked black pepper. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed.
- Combine ravioli and sauce: Gently stir the cooked ravioli into the sauce to coat them evenly and warm through.
- Serve and garnish: If desired, garnish with freshly grated Parmesan cheese, chopped parsley or thyme, and additional cracked black pepper before serving.
Notes
- You can substitute the mushroom ravioli with your favorite ravioli varieties such as sausage, cheese, or spinach.
- Blanching the ravioli with cold water helps prevent them from overcooking and sticking together.
- Use low sodium broth to better control the saltiness of the sauce.
- For a vegetarian version, use vegetable broth and omit Parmesan cheese or use a vegetarian alternative.
- Reducing the cream and broth mixture until thickened enhances the richness of the sauce.
