Homemade ravioli in mushroom and cream sauce

I wanted to cook homemade ravioli without messing with making pasta dough, so I used a store-bought pasta dough and made homemade ravioli in a cream and mushroom sauce. Just like in an Italian restaurant.

10 years ago I asked my husband for a birthday present – a pasta machine. I had a lot of plans for it. But in practice, it has been in the closet for 10 years in the original packaging without me opening it.

Why? Because I was afraid to make pasta dough and mess with rolling. Who has time for that with 3 kids?
But you don’t have to mess with a store bought pasta dough. It’s really easy to use.

So I made a delicious cheese filling, bought a cute mold for making ravioli (bought at a stock store at a rediculous price), and made homemade ravioli in different shapes.

For most of the dough I used a mold, some I cut into squares, the rest I folded into a tortellini shape, and when I had some dough left I let my little one do whatever he wanted. He folded, rolled and made noodles in different shapes.

I cooked the ravioli for a few minutes in boiling water and paired them with a mushroom and cream sauce.

It turned out amazing! The children also participated in the preparation and had a great time.

I’ve made it twice already and they’re already asking for a third time…

Bon appetite!

Tips and tricks:

  1. Before folding the dough, you can brush it with water instead of egg, both options work
  2. It is advisable to dry the ravioli after filling and before cooking. That way the raviolis will keep their shape better while cooking in water
  3. Don’t like nutmeg? You don’t have to use it
  4. Want to strengthen flavors? Add a teaspoon Nutritional Yeasta for the filling and another teaspoon for the sauce. They add a great cheesy flavor. I bought mine at iHerb
