The shape of your ravioli can be large or smaller, round or square. The filling is based on mixed mushrooms, which you can buy fresh or frozen depending on availability, well-dried ricotta (cow or goat, if you love more or less strong flavors) and grated parmesan cheese, for a touch of pleasant flavor. So let’s find out how to make ravioli with mushrooms following our recipe step by step.

What to serve with Mushroom Ravioli

To make your meal even richer, serve mushroom ravioli with garlic bread, some roasted vegetables or a side salad.

Tips for Browned Ravioli with Mushroom

The seasoning with butter and sage is a great classic, but you can choose other sauces, white or red, based on vegetables or meat. In this case, we suggest you aim for simplicity, leaving the absolute protagonists to be the flavors of the undergrowth.

In case the mushrooms are no longer in season, you can also try other kind of fillings like pumpkin, mustard and amaretti.

How to store Ravioli with Mushrooms
