The Most Comforting Homemade Mushroom-Stuffed Ravioli
Dried porcinis and fresh mushrooms join forces to give this mushroom ravioli filling recipe tons of savory, earthy flavor. Make sure you clean your mushrooms before you get started making the filling. A touch of fresh ricotta cheese ensures the filling is rich and creamy. Adding fresh parsley and garlic balances the mushroom flavor and keeps the dish from feeling too heavy. Store the mushroom filling for the ravioli in the fridge until ready to use.
How to Seal the Mushroom-Stuffed Ravioli
When assembling the ravioli, our Test Kitchen found an egg and water mixture was the best way to ensure the pasta dough sticks together around the filling. Use your fingers to lightly press the dough together and then cut out each ravioli. This fresh pasta recipe only needs 4 minutes to cook in the boiling salted water, so it's minimal effort once the raviolis are assembled.
Ingredients
-
½ ounce dried porcini mushrooms
-
4 ounce fresh mushrooms, finely chopped
-
1 tablespoon olive oil
-
1 tablespoon snipped fresh Italian (flat-leaf) parsley
-
1 clove garlic, minced
-
¼ teaspoon salt
-
⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper
-
1 egg yolk, lightly beaten
-
½ cup ricotta cheese
-
1 egg, lightly beaten

-
3 1/2 cup all purpose flour
-
3 large eggs
-
3 Tbsp oil
-
1/2 cup water
-
1/2 tsp. salt
Directions
Mushroom Ravioli Filling
-
Soak the dried porcini mushrooms in enough boiling water to cover for about 15 minutes or until soft. Drain, discarding the liquid. Squeeze the mushrooms to remove any additional liquid.
-
Finely chop the rehydrated porcini mushrooms.
-
In a medium skillet, cook the fresh mushrooms in hot oil over medium-high heat about 5 minutes or until liquid is evaporated.
-
Add chopped porcini mushrooms, parsley, and garlic. Cook and stir the mixture for about 1 minute. Remove from the heat. Sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste.
-
In a medium bowl, combine the egg yolk, ricotta cheese, and mushroom mixture. Cover and chill until needed.
Fresh Pasta Dough
-
To make fresh pasta dough for ravioli, in a large mixing bowl, add flour, eggs, cooking oil, water, and salt. Mix until the ingredients come together to form a dough.
-
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface, and knead until smooth and elastic, about 10 to 15 minutes.
-
Wrap the dough in plastic wrap until ready to use.
To Make Ravioli
In a small bowl, combine 1 egg and 1 tablespoon water; set aside.
-
Cut rolled pasta dough into 2-inch-wide strips. Brush the strips lightly with the egg mixture.
-
Leaving a ½-inch border around the edges, place about 1 teaspoon of filling at 1-inch intervals on one strip of dough.
-
Lay a second strip of dough, brushed side down, over the first.
-
Using your fingers, press the dough around each mound of filling so that the two moistened strips stick together.
Cut dough between filling to make individual ravioli. Repeat with the remaining dough and filling.
-
To cook ravioli, boil a large pot of salted water. Gently drop about one-fourth of the ravioli, one at a time, into the boiling water and stir to prevent them from sticking to the bottom of the pan. Simmer gently for 3 to 4 minutes or until tender.
Using a slotted spoon, transfer ravioli to a serving dish.
