Ingredients

• 500 grams Fresh or frozen ravioli (cheese or mushroom-filled)
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 2 cloves Garlic
• 300 grams Wild mushrooms (such as cremini, shiitake, or oyster), cleaned and sliced
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
• 0.125 teaspoon Nutmeg, freshly grated (optional)
• 4 liters Water
• 1 tablespoon Salt (for pasta water)

Directions

Step 1

Bring 4 liters of water to a boil in a large pot. Add 1 tablespoon of salt to the water for seasoning.

Step 2

Cook the ravioli according to the package instructions, typically 3-5 minutes for fresh ravioli or 8-10 minutes for frozen. Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta cooking water and drain the ravioli. Set aside.

Step 3

Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the butter and olive oil. Once the butter has melted, add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 4

Increase the heat to medium-high and add the sliced wild mushrooms to the skillet. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are golden and tender.

Step 5

Reduce the heat to medium and pour in the heavy cream. Stir to combine and let it gently simmer for 2-3 minutes.

Step 6

Gradually add the grated Parmesan cheese, stirring continuously until the cheese is melted and the sauce is thickened.

Step 7

Season the sauce with 0.5 teaspoon of salt, 0.25 teaspoon of freshly ground black pepper, and a pinch (0.125 teaspoon) of freshly grated nutmeg if using. Adjust seasoning to taste.

Step 8

If the sauce becomes too thick, add a splash of the reserved pasta cooking water to reach your desired consistency.

Step 9

Add the cooked ravioli to the skillet and gently toss to coat the pasta with the mushroom Alfredo sauce.

Step 10

Sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley and serve immediately. Optionally, garnish with additional Parmesan cheese on top.
