Ingredients
Method
Step 1: Prepare the Mushrooms
- Place a rack in the top third of your oven and preheat the broiler to high.
- Melt 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter in a broiler-safe large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add the quartered cremini mushrooms in a single layer and let them sear, undisturbed, for about 3 minutes until the bottoms are golden.
- Season the mushrooms with kosher salt and red pepper flakes, stir once or twice, and cook for an additional 3 minutes until browned all over.
Step 2: Make the Garlic-Butter Sauce
- Reduce the heat to medium. Add the remaining 3 tablespoons of butter to the skillet along with the minced garlic and chopped rosemary.
- Stir and cook for about 2 minutes, until the mixture becomes fragrant and saucy.
- Add balsamic vinegar and stir to combine.
- Transfer the mushrooms and sauce to a bowl and set aside.
Step 3: Crisp the Ravioli
- Return the skillet to medium-high heat and add olive oil.
- Add the ravioli to the skillet, breaking apart any that may be stuck together.
- Sauté for 2 to 3 minutes, or until golden brown in spots.
Step 4: Cook the Ravioli
- Carefully pour 1/2 cup water into the skillet. Cover the skillet and cook for 3 to 5 minutes, or until the ravioli is al dente and most of the water has been absorbed.
Step 5: Combine and Broil
- Uncover the skillet and remove it from the heat. Return the mushrooms and garlic-butter sauce to the skillet and toss gently to combine.
- Sprinkle half of the grated Parmesan cheese over the mixture and toss again.
- Sprinkle the remaining Parmesan cheese evenly over the top.
- Broil for 2 to 3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and golden brown.
Step 6: Garnish and Serve
- Serve hot, garnished with extra red pepper flakes for a hint of spice. Pair with a fresh salad or garlic bread for a complete meal.
Notes
- Fresh vs. Frozen Ravioli: Both work beautifully in this recipe, but if using frozen ravioli, you don’t need to thaw them beforehand. Simply adjust the cooking time slightly.
- Customize the Cheese: Pecorino Romano offers a saltier, sharper flavor, while Parmesan is milder. Choose based on your preference!
- Add Veggies: Toss in baby spinach or sun-dried tomatoes when adding the mushrooms for extra flavor and nutrition.
- Reheating Tip: Leftovers can be reheated in the skillet over medium heat or in the oven at 375°F for 10 minutes. Add a splash of water if the dish becomes too dry.
