Laminated Wild Mushroom Ravioli with Parmesan Sauce

2nd October 2020 by Louise
Laminated Wild Mushroom Ravioli with Parmesan Sauce.
Laminated Wild Mushroom Ravioli with Parmesan Sauce.

There are few things more satisfying in life than eating a delicious bowl of fresh pasta – even more so if you’ve made, rolled and filled it yourself.

You need little equipment; a worktop, a rolling pin, a sharp knife and lots of elbow grease. A pasta machine will make life easier, particularly if you’re making thin sheets for ravioli. Never do I make pasta dough in a food processor.  Placing the ingredients on a work surface and making it by hand is all part of the enjoyment and you get a much better idea of the texture of the dough.

I particularly like wild mushrooms as a filling for ravioli, a blend works well.  If you struggle to get hold of them, dried are always available.  If this is the case I would use chestnut mushrooms and mix with a few dried, reconstituted ones. They’ll add so much flavour.

Laminated Wild Mushroom Ravioli with Parmesan Sauce

Serves 8 as a starter, 4-6 as a main course.
Prep Time1 hour hr 20 minutes mins
Cook Time25 minutes mins
Resting time1 hour hr
Course: Lunch/Dinner
Cuisine: Italian

Equipment

  • Pasta machine, rolling pin, pastry (5.5cm) or ravioli cutter.

Ingredients

Pasta dough

  • 400 g OO Flour
  • 4 large eggs
  • 2 ½ tbls Olive oil
  • Fresh parsley leaves
  • Young, soft thyme leaves (if they’re woody they will break the pasta dough)
  • Edible petals I used marigolds
  • fine semolina flour for dusting

Filling

  • 550 g wild mushrooms or 30g bag dried wild mushrooms + 520g chestnut mushrooms, finely chopped
  • 1½ butter
  • 1 tsp plain flour
  • 2 banana shallots finely chopped
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 1 sprig thyme
  • 2 tbls chopped parsley
  • 2 tbls mascarpone
  • 2 tbls double cream
  • 3 tbls Parmesan freshly grated
  • salt and pepper to season

Sauce

  • 175 ml chicken or vegetable stock add in some of the dried mushroom liquor if using
  • 30 g butter
  • 25 g grated parmesan extra to sprinkle on the pasta

Instructions

  • Place the flour on a work surface, make a well in the middle and add the eggs and olive oil, with your fingers or a fork slowly mix together the flour and eggs to form a smooth dough. You need to really work at this, knead for several minutes. This will result in a much smoother dough.  Wrap and let rest for one hour.
  • In the meantime make the filling. (If you’re using dried mushroom, place them in a bowl and cover with freshly boiled water. Leave for 15 minutes). Drain the mushrooms, keeping the liquor, chop.
 In a large pan melt the butter and add the garlic, shallots and thyme, saute for 3-5 minutes without colour. Add the chestnut mushrooms and wild mushrooms, increase the heat and cook for 5-8 minutes or until all the liquid has evaporated and it starts to catch at the bottom of the pan. Add the flour and stir, now add the double cream and mascarpone. Cook on a medium heat for several minutes to cook out the flour. Make sure the mixture isn't too wet, cook for a little longer if it is. Add the grated parmesan and season with salt and pepper. Add the parsley and stir. Remove the sprig of thyme. Place into a bowl to cool. (it must be cold before using).
  • Now cut the dough into 8 even sized pieces. Wrap 6 and leave 2 to work with. Dust with semolina flour or OO flour and roll one piece of dough on the widest setting (No.1) fold into 3. Give it a quarter turn and pass it through the machine again. Repeat this 4-5 times so the gluten in the pasta is thoroughly worked. Then move up to No 2, roll several times, then move to No 3, repeat. Repeat with the second piece. When you have 2 pieces the same thickness and size, place them on the work surface. On one sheet add parsley and thyme leaves and edible petals if using. Now place the second sheet on the top and roll gently with a rolling pin. Now turn the pasta roller back to No 2 and roll the sheet through several times. Then move up to No 3, then 4, and finally 5. You now have the required thickens for the ravioli. Now place a teaspoon of the filling at equal distance from each other, brush with a little water, then fold over. Cup with your hand to remove any air. Cut with a pastry or ravioli cutter, Sprinkle with a little fine semolina. Repeat with the other sheets and fill.
  • Have a large saucepan filled with boiling salted water at the ready. Add the ravioli and simmer for 3-5 minutes, until al dente.
  • Meanwhile, in a large pan melt the butter and add the stock, simmer for 2- 3 minute.  Add the ravioli, parmesan a couple of tablespoons of pasta water, and toss to cover and coat the ravioli. Continue to cook for 30 seconds.  Serve immediately with freshly grated parmesan cheese.  Enjoy!

Notes

*Substitute the Parmesan with a mature cheddar if you’re vegetarian.

Tips:

  • Of course the recipe works just as well without the inclusion of the herbs & petals.
  • Make sure the mushroom mixture isn’t too wet, if it is the ravioli will stick on the underside.
  • Use soft herbs such as flat leaf parsley, young thyme, tarragon and basil.
  • Edible petals are also pretty.  Use marigolds, cornflowers and dandelion.
  • The dough will keep in the fridge, wrapped well for up to 5 days.

Only @nigellalawson could make squeezing in just o Only @nigellalawson could make squeezing in just one more baking book sound so elegant. She wrote the loveliest words about Buns: Sweets and Simple Bakes — and went for the Brown Butter & Vanilla, a quiet favourite of mine. Deceptively simple, but the kind of bun that’s never trying too hard, because it doesn’t need to.

So chuffed you took the time, Nigella — thank you.

With all this hot weather lately, a chilled Cucumb With all this hot weather lately, a chilled Cucumber & Almond soup was just what I fancied. Cool, creamy, and packed with protein and flavour. I used 650g small cucumbers, 250g full-fat Greek yogurt, 2 spring onions, a blanched clove of garlic (raw’s a bit harsh for this, I find), 60g skinned almonds, 50ml strong veg stock, a good drizzle of EVOO, lemon juice, and a splash of sherry vinegar to finish. I also threw in a handful of herbs – fresh dill, blanched parsley, and mint – for a lovely hit of green brightness. (Serves 2.)

Tip: blitz the blanched almonds with the veg stock first until really smooth – that’s key. Then add the cucumber, herbs, spring onions, garlic, EVOO, lemon, vinegar, and just a third of the yogurt. Only whisk in the rest once the soup’s puréed – it gives a lovely thick, creamy texture. If you add all the yogurt to the blender at once, it can end up a bit thinner than you’d like.

Finish with a swirl of EVOO, a drizzle of thinned yogurt, and maybe a few cucumber ribbons if you're feeling a bit cheffy.

As I sat down to eat, it occurred to me that some chopped pickled jalapeños on top would be lovely – so that’s exactly what I added to the finished soup before tucking in!

I’m fully embracing my current obsession with to I’m fully embracing my current obsession with tomatoes — and honestly, who wouldn’t? They’re so sweet and juicy at the moment. This little tart is packed with toasted fennel seeds, chunks of salty feta, and a mix of whole and sliced tomatoes that roast beautifully. The feta is so good with the sweet, blistered tomatoes — such a lovely mix of textures and flavours. All of that’s tucked into a light spelt pastry that’s perfectly crumbly. The full recipe will be on the blog tomorrow!

What a weekend! I managed to deliver a Strawberry What a weekend! I managed to deliver a Strawberry and Elderflower Buttercream Cake in 30°C heat without a single mishap – a small miracle if you ask me. Huge congratulations to the lovely newlyweds Victoria and John –  hope you had the most wonderful day 💐🎂 (There’s a snap of the cake over on stories)

Now the new week is here and the temperatures are finally a bit more manageable. Thought I’d share my current favourite weekend lunch – a lovely summery Tuna Salad. When tomatoes are so sweet and juicy, it’s the perfect time to make the most of them. Paired with haricot beans, diced celery (I know it can be a bit divisive, but it adds such a nice crunch), and a caper and chive mustard dressing. Light, fresh, and very satisfying.

I meant to post this much earlier, but I’ve been I meant to post this much earlier, but I’ve been busy prepping a wedding cake for a Midsummer wedding tomorrow. Buttercream and a heatwave are not the best combination! I was up at 4:30 to get ahead of the heat, and I’m so glad I did — the cake is finished and happily chilling in the fridge.

Being half Swedish, Midsommar holds a special place in my heart. It’s all about flower crowns, fresh air, and that lovely feeling of long summer days. We gather with family and friends, share a beautiful midsommar feast - pickled herring, new potatoes, strawberry cream cake (this is not the wedding cake), and snaps! 
A time to slow down, dance around the maypole, and celebrate life and light. 

 Glad Midsommar! 💛🌞
