Mushroom Ravioli with Brown Butter Sauce
I have a number of simple, fast pasta dishes, in my bag of tricks, but it probably doesn’t get any simpler than store bought ravioli and a 4 ingredient sauce that takes about 8 minutes to make. Impossible you say? 12 minutes to an elegant, tasty dinner on the table? I say Yes You Can ;-)...and I'll show you how to do it in this recipe video. The main key is to use store bought ravioli, and there are lots of great options out there, and simple brown butter sauce. The ravioli I'm using is stuffed with mushrooms, but you can use just about any kind you'd like...just make sure it's a good quality. The brown butter sauce is a standard, is great with stuffed pastas like this and is really easy to make. If you need to put together a quick, filling and easy meal, this might just be the ticket Hope you enjoy it!
Recipe Overview and Keys to Success
To make the best Mushroom Ravioli with Brown Butter sauce just follow these few simple steps:
- If you’re using pre-made ravioli, make sure it good quality. There are both good and bad versions out there
- Fresh ravioli like the one I'm using, don’t take too long to cook, and you don’t want to overcook them. Generally, shortly after they float I’ll drain them, but if needed just taste test one for doneness
- Saute the ravioli together with the butter sauce for a few minutes. Doing so allows the flavors to combine and mingle like they should
