Equipment

  • 1 x 5L pot
  • 1 x large deep pan
  • 1 x wooden spoon

Ingredients

  • 1 serving of fresh Vincenzo’s Plate Ravioli with Ricotta & Spinach
  • 400 grams Cooking cream
  • 5 Medium size mushrooms sliced
  • 10 grams Dried porcini mushrooms soaked in 1 glass of boiled water
  • Fresh parmesan to your liking
  • 3 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil EVOO
  • 1 Thick italian style sausage my suggestion would be pork with fennel
  • 4.5 L Water
  • 2 pinches Rock salt
  • 1 ½ tbsp Table salt

Instructions

  • STEP ONE – PASTA DOUGHLeave your fresh ravioli to the side or if the kitchen feels too warm, these can rest in the fridge.
  • Add 4.5L of water to a large pot and place it on the stove to boil.
  • Peel the skin off the sausage so that all the mince begins to separate. Create small balls of mince for the pasta sauce.
  • Place the deep pan on the stove at medium heat and add 3 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil.
  • Add the sliced mushrooms and small pieces of sausage mince.
  • Keep this on a medium to high heat and stir it using a wooden spoon.
  • The sausage and mushroom should both begin to brown.
  • Add a table spoon and a half of salt.
  • Pour in the porcini mushrooms along with the water they have been simmering in and after a few short minutes, you will smell the beautiful flavour of the porcini.
  • Stir the mixture well using a wooden spoon and leave this to simmer for around ten minuets, or until most of the the water evaporates.
  • Add a sprinkle of pepper.
  • Pour the cooking cream into the mixture .
  • The large pot should now be boiling and ready to cook the ravioli. Add two pinches of rock salt to the water.
  • One by one, slowly drop your freshly made ravioli into the boiling water. Each one should cook for around 3 minutes.
  • Then, using a spatula carefully pick up each raviolo and place them into the pan where you are cooking your sauce. Be gentle and don’t use a strainer as it can be very easy to break fresh pasta!
  • Carefully pick up the pan and slightly move it in a circular motion to move the sauce around and begin to cover the ravioli. Now, place the pan back onto a low heat for another two minutes.
  • Grate some fresh parmesan into the saucepan so that it melts with the heat.
  • Remove the pan from the stove.
