Marsala Mushroom Ravioli with Parsley Cream

“One, two, one, go!” shouts my son as he launches into action to make a mess in record time. It almost seems like he is always trying to beat his personal best time to rummage through his toys. I don’t want to paint my kiddo in a bad light, because he really is the sweetest little demon. He gives kisses, hugs and is super protective of his mommy and daddy. But the truth is, I have a 2.5-year-old, pint-size typhoon that sprints full speed around the house. He’s sitting on my shoulders as I am typing this. That being said, a quick and easy meal that I can freeze or prepare ahead of time is crucial to keep my sanity. That’s what this recipe is. As I have mentioned in last week’s recipe, we are having a pasta/noodle month. So this week, we are going to make something along those lines. We are going to whip up this delicious Paleo Marsala Mushroom Ravioli with Parsley Cream.

I know what you are thinking. Technically, raviolis are considered a dumpling, but just hear me out. It’s made out of pasta dough, so it’s a form of pasta, right? Just like how pizza is a vegetable. This is a delicious meal that freezes well and it’s such a fun activity to do as a family. That’s what food is about at the end of the day, right? To create memories and a way for us all to bond. The prep for this Paleo Marsala Mushroom Ravioli with Parsley Cream is super easy. Both components can be mixed and matched with a variety of dishes. That being said, you are really getting two recipes in one. That’s a good thing, right? Let’s get cooking!

Paleo Marsala Mushroom Ravioli with Parsley Cream Instructions:

1.)  Let’s start the Marsala Mushroom Ravioli with Parsley Cream by making the the filing. In a skillet over medium-high heat, drizzle EVOO and some Grass-fed butter if you like. Cook shallots and garlic until slightly brown. Add in mushrooms, thyme, sage, marsala wine, nutmeg, salt and pepper.

2.) Cook the filling until mushrooms start to slightly brown. Remove from heat into a mixing bowl. Add in fresh parsley, ricotta, Parmesan cheese and fold together with a bowl scraper.

3.) In a bowl, mix your 1 egg with 1 tbsp of water to create an egg wash.

4.) Unroll your Cappello’s Lasagna Sheets on your silicone mat. Use your Ravioli cutter to map out where each ravioli is by making a light indention on the pasta sheet.

5.) Use a measuring spoon, scoop 1 tbsp of filling onto the center of each Ravioli. Brush the sides with egg wash and lay the second sheet over it. Minimize the air pocket on the ravioli. If the edges are not sticking, use a fork to press it down. The assembly of the Marsala Mushroom Ravioli is pretty easy.

6.) Before Cooking the Marsala Mushroom Ravioli with Parsley Cream, let’s make the sauce. In a sauce pan over medium heat, cook the garlic until golden brown. Put everything in a tall cup and mix with an immersion blender. Return the mixture to the sauce pan, and cook until it is heated. The reason for the xanthan gum is because it acts as an emulsifier. If you prefer another form of emulsification, feel free to experiment.

7.) In a pot/wok, heat up enough water (toss a tbsp or two of Salt in it) and cook the Ravioli as directed per Cappello’s instruction.

8.) Once cooked, serve with previously made Parsley Cream with a healthy drizzle of EVOO. There you have it, my Paleo Marsala Mushroom Ravioli with Parsley Cream. Until next time, eat up my friends!
