  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Ravioli

  • 18 ounces mushroom ravioli

Mushroom Cream 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)

Optional Garnish

  • Freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • Fresh parsley or thyme
  • Cracked black pepper

Instructions

  1. Cook the Ravioli: Fill a large pot with 4 inches of water and bring it to a boil. Add the mushroom ravioli and boil for 3 minutes. Drain the ravioli, then immediately run cold water over it to blanch and stop the cooking process. Optional: Toss the ravioli in 1 teaspoon of olive oil to prevent sticking.
  2. Sauté Mushrooms and Garlic: In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and sliced mushrooms and sauté for 3 to 4 minutes, until the mushrooms are tender and the garlic is fragrant.
  3. Add Broth and Cream: Stir in the low sodium chicken or vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a simmer. Then, add the heavy cream and continue to simmer until the sauce reduces by half and becomes creamy, about 5 to 7 minutes.
  4. Season the Sauce: Stir in the Italian herb blend seasoning, salt, and freshly cracked black pepper. Taste the sauce and adjust the salt and pepper if needed.
  5. Combine with Ravioli: Gently fold the cooked ravioli into the mushroom cream sauce, coating each piece well.
  6. Serve and Garnish: If desired, garnish with freshly grated Parmesan cheese, fresh parsley or thyme, and a sprinkle of cracked black pepper before serving.

Notes

  • Use low sodium broth to better control salt levels in the dish.
  • Blanching the ravioli after boiling prevents overcooking and sticking.
  • Fresh herbs like parsley or thyme can be used to add a bright flavor and visual appeal.
  • For a vegetarian option, use vegetable broth.
  • You can substitute heavy cream with half-and-half for a lighter sauce, but it may be less creamy.
  • If you prefer a thicker sauce, simmer it a bit longer until it reaches desired consistency.
