Mushroom ravioli with garlic butter, Parmesan and basil

I like a sauce that lets the mushroom filling of the ravioli come through. Butter, garlic, a little onion and Cremefine make it creamy, with Parmesan and fresh basil to finish.

Fresh mushroom ravioli

Use ready-made chilled mushroom ravioli from the supermarket. Follow their packet cooking time: fresh filled pasta often needs much less than the previously stated 5–8 minutes.

Which sauce goes with mushroom ravioli?

Garlic butter, a little Cremefine and starchy pasta water make a creamy sauce. Soften the onion in butter first, then briefly cook the garlic so it does not turn bitter. Gently toss the ravioli in the sauce at the end.

Garlic paste or fresh garlic

The original quantity of 30 g garlic paste is retained. Products vary greatly in strength and saltiness, so start with less and adjust to taste. About two finely chopped garlic cloves are an alternative. Add extra salt only after tasting the paste.

Other filled pasta works too

The sauce also works with tortellini. Follow the packet cooking time and lift the pasta gently into the pan to avoid splitting it.

Kitchen tip

Reserve a small cup of pasta water before draining. Add it a splash at a time until the sauce lightly coats the ravioli, rather than adding a whole ladle at once.

For a vegetarian version, use a Parmesan-style cheese with microbial rennet and check the ingredients of the ravioli too.
