Ingredients
Instructions
- Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil. Wash and dry produce. Trim and slice mushrooms into ¼-inch-thick pieces. Cut any larger grape tomatoes in half lengthwise. In a small bowl, combine ricotta with 1 tsp olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper; set aside.
- Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and slightly crispy, 5-7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. After 4 minutes, add another drizzle of olive oil, then add tomatoes and half the Italian seasoning (use all for 4 servings). Cook, stirring, until tomatoes soften, 2-3 minutes. Stir in mushroom stock concentrate, cream cheese, half the marinara (all for 4 servings) and ¼ cup water (⅓ cup for 4). Bring to a simmer and cook until cream cheese melts and sauce thickens, 1-3 minutes. Remove from heat.
- Once water is boiling, add ravioli and cook until tender and floating, 3-4 minutes. Reserve ¼ cup pasta cooking water, then drain.
- Add drained ravioli and 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4 servings) to the pan with sauce; toss to coat. If sauce is too thick, stir in reserved pasta water 1 TBSP at a time until creamy. Season with salt and pepper. Divide pasta between bowls, dollop ricotta in the center and finish with a grind of pepper.
Recipe Tips
For extra richness, use a high-quality marinara sauce.
If you prefer a thinner sauce, add more pasta water gradually.
To save time, look for pre-sliced mushrooms.
