How to Make The Best Sauce for Ravioli

This dinner recipe is incredibly easy to make. First, we sauté the mushrooms until they turn golden brown. Once they’re cooked, we remove them from the skillet and crisp up the chorizo. We season it with salt, black pepper, garlic and shallot, and let the flavors develop. To finish, we stir in parsley and cream, while we simmer the sauce for about 3 minutes.

In the meantime, we boil the ravioli for 2 to 3 minutes. After that, we toss the ravioli with the sauce… and dinner is ready!

Ingredients You Need for Chorizo Mushroom Ravioli

Ravioli: Use fresh or frozen ravioli with your favorite filling like ricotta, burrata, ricotta + spinach, butternut, mushroom or 4-cheese.
Chorizo: you can use spicy or mild Spanish chorizo. Alternatively, use bacon or pancetta and add 1 tsp smoked paprika.
Mushrooms: Cremini mushrooms are the go-to in this recipe, but you can play around and use brown button mushrooms, shiitakes or a mix of wild mushrooms.
Cream: Heavy cream is best for this sauce.
Garlic and Shallot: Essential for lots of flavor! Use freshly chopped, and try to avoid the pre-chopped stuff.
