Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 package Ravioli (fresh or frozen, cheese-filled)
  • 2 cups Mushrooms, sliced (cremini or button varieties)
  • 2 cups Fresh Spinach
  • 2 cloves Garlic, minced
  • 1 small Onion, diced
  • 1 cup Cream (heavy cream for a rich sauce)
  • 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, grated (for topping)
  • Salt and Pepper, to taste
  • a pinch Nutmeg (optional, for added aroma)
  • a handful Fresh Basil, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Method
 

Cooking the Ravioli
  1. Begin by boiling water in a large pot. Add a pinch of salt and your ravioli. Cook according to the package instructions (usually around 4-6 minutes for fresh).
Sautéing the Aromatics
  1. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, cooking until the onion becomes translucent (about 2-3 minutes).
Cooking the Mushrooms
  1. Toss in the sliced mushrooms and sauté until they are golden brown and their moisture has evaporated (approximately 5-6 minutes). Season with salt and pepper.
Incorporating the Spinach
  1. Add the fresh spinach to the mushrooms. Stir until the spinach wilts, around 2 minutes. If using nutmeg, sprinkle a pinch at this point.
Making the Sauce
  1. Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Allow the sauce to thicken slightly for about 3-4 minutes.
Combining the Dish
  1. Drain the ravioli and add it directly to the skillet with the sauce. Toss gently to combine, ensuring that the ravioli are well-coated.
Serving
  1. Plate the ravioli, generously topping with grated Parmesan cheese and chopped fresh basil if desired. Enjoy your creation!
