Ravioli with mushrooms and cream. A savory light cream sauce enhanced by a medley of mushrooms. I love mushrooms and with the opportunity given to cook with them, I jump on it. A quick dinner of ravioli.
Here I have selected lobster ravioli for our dinner, however, any kind of your choosing will work beautifully as well.
Placed on a soup bowl and covered with a heavy cream reduced with chicken stock and combined with very simple gently cooked mushrooms with butter, lemon juice, and the natural juices of the mushrooms rendered during cooking.
Simplicity at its best. Flavors out of this world.
Mushrooms are one of those vegetables that are always available at the grocery store. And more and more varieties are available, which makes cooking with them so much more fun. Not only the texture is smooth, but the aroma and flavor that they emit while cooking, is to me, mesmerizing.
Mushrooms are classified as a vegetable, although they are not a plant but members of the fungi family. Rich in vitamin B, as well as selenium and potassium.
When selecting your Bella or white caps mushrooms, look underneath them and make sure that the cap covers the gills. This is a sign of the freshness of the mushroom.
The stean is good to eat, just remove the bottom end that has been in the ground.
I have here with this recipe, using two of my favorite: Chanterelle and baby Bella. Two very flavorful mushrooms that work well together.
Although white caps or just cremini work wonderfully too.
Never soak your mushrooms as they have the tendency to retain the water moisture, which in turn will make the cooking process soggy. Use a slightly damp paper towel or cloth and slightly rub them to remove any dirt attached to them.
The secret to keeping your mushrooms fresh longer is to remove them from any plastic packaging and place them into a paper sack that will absorb any humidity from touching them.
If you do not have a paper sack, wrap them in paper towels and place them in an open plastic bag. This process will allow them to stay fresh for about a week.
Always add some lemon juice to the white mushrooms once they are sliced. This will prevent it from turning brown.
Just another tip I have learned along the way, never salt mushrooms when you saute them. The salt will make them soggy and not that golden roasted color.
It is a very simple recipe, but follow these suggestions for success
As you may have noticed I do not add any salt to this dish, apart from the cooking water of the ravioli. The reason being is that the chicken stock has already salt in it and the pasta is perfectly seasoned.
Adding more salt will make your dish too salty and unbeatable.

Ive always wanted to make this, can I use vegetable stock? This looks delicious.
Yes, Jeannie, you can use vegetable stock instead of chicken. I had none on hand or I would have used it as well.
Enjoy!
Eventhough I am not into cooking, but I have just learned something new on the mushroom handling and storage. I have shared this blog post to my wife.
