Ingredients for Best Creamy Marsala Wine Sauce Over Mushroom Ravioli

  • Portabella Mushroom Ravioli
  • 1/2 cup Marsala wine
  • Heavy Cream
  • 2% Low Fat Milk
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Sliced Mushrooms
  • Diced Onion
  • Salt And Pepper

How to Make Best Creamy Marsala Wine Sauce Over Mushroom Ravioli

  1. Fill a large pot with 4 quarts of water and bring to a rolling boil over high heat.
  2. Add 1 pound of frozen mushroom ravioli to the boiling water. Stir occasionally and cook for 6-8 minutes, or until they float to the surface.
  3. While the ravioli cook, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  4. Add 1 medium onion, chopped, and 8 ounces of sliced portobello mushrooms to the skillet. Sauté until tender, about 3-5 minutes.
  5. Pour in 1/2 cup of Marsala wine and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 2-4 minutes, seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.
  6. Stir in 1/2 cup heavy cream and 1/4 cup milk. Simmer for another 5 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened slightly.
  7. Drain the cooked ravioli and add them to the skillet with the sauce. Toss gently to coat.
  8. Serve the ravioli in a shallow pasta bowl. Garnish with fresh parsley (optional).
  9. **Optional:** For a heartier meal, serve the ravioli over a bed of cooked bowtie pasta. Alternatively, substitute the ravioli with 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts. If using chicken, sauté for 15 minutes before adding the onions and mushrooms, then follow the recipe from step 4.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
