Ingredients

Ravioli

  • 1.1 pounds ravioli - with your favorite filling

Sauce

  • 2 cups cremini mushrooms - sliced
  • 1 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 4 garlic cloves - minced
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp coarsely ground black pepper
  • 1 tsp dried sage
  • 1 cup 20% fat cream (or heavy cream)
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 jar (1.7 oz / 50 g) black truffle slices

For Serving

  • Chili flakes - to taste

Instructions

  1. Cook the ravioli: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the ravioli and cook according to the package instructions, usually about 3 to 5 minutes, until they float to the surface. Drain and set aside, reserving some pasta water.
  2. Sauté mushrooms and garlic: In a large skillet, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Add the sliced cremini mushrooms and cook until they are soft and golden, about 5 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and continue cooking for another 1 minute until fragrant.
  3. Season the mixture: Sprinkle in the salt, coarsely ground black pepper, and dried sage. Stir well to combine and let the flavors meld for a minute.
  4. Prepare the Alfredo sauce: Lower the heat and pour in the cream. Let it simmer gently for 3 to 5 minutes until slightly thickened. Gradually add grated Parmesan cheese while stirring continuously until melted and smooth.
  5. Add truffle slices: Stir in the black truffle slices, mixing gently to incorporate their rich flavor into the sauce. If the sauce is too thick, add a little reserved pasta water to adjust the consistency.
  6. Combine ravioli and sauce: Add the cooked ravioli to the skillet, gently tossing to coat each piece thoroughly in the creamy truffle Alfredo sauce. Cook for an additional minute to warm through.
  7. Serve: Plate the Truffle Alfredo Ravioli hot and sprinkle with chili flakes to your preferred spice level for a subtle kick. Enjoy immediately for the best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Use fresh ravioli for the best texture, but frozen can be used if cooked carefully according to package instructions.
  • You can substitute cremini mushrooms with white button or shiitake mushrooms if preferred.
  • Adjust the amount of cream and Parmesan depending on how thick or saucy you like your Alfredo.
  • Black truffle slices add an authentic flavor, but truffle oil may be used as a substitute for a different texture.
  • For a vegetarian option, ensure your ravioli filling and Parmesan cheese do not contain animal rennet.
  • Reserve some pasta water to thin the sauce if it becomes too thick and to help the sauce adhere better to the pasta.
