Creamy Tuscan Ravioli Recipes

CREAMY TUSCAN RAVIOLI

Steps:

• Add the oil and butter to a skillet over medium-high heat. Once it's melted, add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
• Add in the chicken broth, cream, lemon juice, and sun-dried tomatoes. Stir in the ravioli.
• Cover the pan and reduce the heat to medium-low. Cook it for 5 minutes with the lid on.
• Give the ravioli a stir. The sauce should be a bit thicker by now. If it's still too watery for your liking, cover the pan for another minute or so.
• Stir in the spinach (and basil if using), cover the pan again, and let it wilt for a minute or two.
• Season the dish with salt & pepper as needed and add parmesan cheese if using. Serve immediately.

DATE NIGHT CREAMY TUSCAN RAVIOLI

Steps:

• BOIL: Bring a large pot of water to boil. Salt the water liberally, then add the ravioli and cook for 1 minute less than package directions, drain and set aside.
• SAUCE: Start on the sauce while the ravioli is boiling. Add the butter and the 1 tablespoon of sun-dried tomato oil to a large sauté pan over medium heat. Once melted, add the garlic and allow for it to cook for 30 seconds or until fragrant. Add the onion powder, Italian seasoning, lemon juice, chicken stock, heavy cream, and sun-dried tomatoes to the skillet and allow for it to become smooth and heat through; about 1-2 minutes.
• FINISH: When the ravioli is done, add it to the prepared sauce, stir to combine. The sauce should thicken significantly once the ravioli sits for a minute. Top with spinach, basil, and cover the pan and allow for it to just wilt. Once wilted, stir to combine and top with freshly grated parmesan before serving!

HOMEMADE CREAMY MUSHROOM RAVIOLI

Steps:

• On a flat surface place four, make a well in the middle and add the eggs, with your fingers or a fork slowly mix together the flour and eggs to form a smooth dough. Cover and let rest one hour.
• Cut dough into 3-4 parts, roll out slightly and roll through machine until thin (you will want to see your hand underneath the dough). Sprinkle dough with flour so it doesn't stick.
• Cut dough into even squares using a pastry crimper (I made them about 2 x 2 inches). Then fill with approximately 1 heaping teaspoon full of mushroom filling. Place another square on top and close the sides with the pastry crimper. Make sure to go around the whole ravioli with the crimper, you don't want them to open.
• In salted boiling water cook the ravioli for approximately 5 minutes. Drain.
• In a large pan melt the butter and add the parsley, simmer for 1 minute. Add ravioli and a couple of tablespoons of pasta water, and toss to cover and sauté 30 seconds. Serve immediately sprinkled with freshly grated parmesan cheese. Enjoy!
• In a medium pan add butter, chopped mushrooms, chopped onion and garlic, cook until golden stirring occasionally. Then add oregano, parsley and cook 20 seconds.
• Remove 3 /4 of the mixture and blend until creamy, then place back in pan and mix with remaining 1/4 mixture. Sprinkle with flour, add cream and mascarpone, heat on low for 1 minute. Remove from heat and add parmesan, stir to combine and let cool.
