150 g brown button mushrooms, sliced

Parmesan Cream Broth:

200 ml 35% cream
500 ml vegetable stock
100 g Parmigiano Reggiano, grated

For the Sautéed Mushrooms:

2 pcs shallots, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
100 ml white wine

Preparation

Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 20 min
Total: 35 min
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine flour and a pinch of salt. Create a well in the center and add eggs. Gradually mix to form a dough, kneading until smooth. Wrap in cling film and let rest for 30 minutes.
  2. Prepare the filling by finely chopping porcini mushrooms and mixing with ricotta cheese. Season with fine salt and ground white pepper. Set aside.
  3. Roll out the dough into thin sheets. Place small spoonfuls of the filling at intervals on one sheet, cover with another sheet, and cut into ravioli shapes. Seal the edges well.
  4. In a saucepan, melt butter and sauté shallots and garlic until translucent. Add brown button mushrooms and cook until golden. Pour in white wine and let it reduce by half.
  5. Add vegetable stock and cream to the saucepan. Bring to a simmer and stir in grated Parmigiano Reggiano. Thicken with cornflour mixed in a bit of water if necessary. Season with salt and a bay leaf.
  6. Cook ravioli in boiling salted water until they float. Drain and serve with the creamy Parmesan broth and mushroom mixture. Garnish with fresh thyme.

For extra flavor, soak porcini mushrooms in warm water before chopping and use the soaking liquid in the broth.
