Mushroom Ravioli In Beef Broth Recipes

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine porcinis and water. Let stand until soft, about 30 minutes. Strain, reserving 1/4 cup of the soaking liquid. Coarsely chop mushrooms; set aside.
• In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add shallots, and cook until translucent, about 2 minutes. Stir in parsley, and cook 1 minute more. Add fresh and dried mushrooms and cook, stirring frequently, until mushrooms first release their liquid and then liquid evaporates, about 10 minutes. Add the 1/4 cup reserved soaking liquid. Cook, stirring, until liquid evaporates, about 5 minutes more. Transfer to a bowl, and cool briefly before stirring in Parmesan and ricotta. Season with salt and pepper.
• Spread semolina on a baking sheet; set aside. Cut fresh pasta dough into 8 pieces. Work with one piece at a time, keeping remaining pieces covered with a glass bowl. Using a pasta machine, roll through the widest opening, brushing very lightly with flour. Fold dough in half crosswise; pass through machine again. Roll dough through remaining settings until it is about 1/16 inch thick (on the Kitchen Aid attachment, this is through setting number 6; this may vary depending on the type of machine used), using as little additional flour as possible.
• Place sheet on a lightly floured surface with the long side parallel to the edge of work surface. Place 8 heaping measuring teaspoons of mushroom filling along the top third of the sheet about 2 inches apart. Moisten pasta around each mound of filling, using a pastry brush dipped in water. Fold the dough up and over the filling to enclose; press around filling to seal. Cut between mounds with a plain pastry wheel. Use a 2 1/2-inch fluted round cutter to cut out ravioli, centering filling. Alternately, use a fluted pastry wheel to cut into rectangular ravioli. Transfer to prepared baking sheet. Cover with a clean kitchen towel. Repeat with remaining dough and filling. Chill until ready to cook. The ravioli can be prepared ahead of time up to this point and frozen. Place baking sheet in freezer until ravioli are frozen. Transfer ravioli to a freezer bag, and keep frozen for up to 2 months.
• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add about 6 ravioli per serving, and cook until tender but al dente, about 2 minutes (slightly longer if frozen). In a skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter and 1 teaspoon of oil with 1 sprig of thyme for each serving. When ravioli are done, use a slotted spoon to remove from boiling water. Drain well, and transfer to skillet. Toss in butter, and divide among warm bowls. Top with shaved Parmesan and freshly ground pepper.

Steps:

• 1. MUSHROOM FILLING In a well seasoned cast iron pan add butter, chopped mushrooms, chopped onion and garlic, cook until golden stirring occasionally. Then add oregano, parsley and cook 20 seconds. Sprinkle with flour, add cream and mascarpone, heat on low for 1 minute. Remove from heat and add parmesan, stir to combine and let cool.
• 2. RAVIOLI PASTA Makes about 60. Freeze what you don't use for another night! On a flat surface place four, make a well in the middle and add the eggs, with your fingers or a fork slowly mix together the flour and eggs to form a smooth dough. Knead until you have a soft dough. Wrap in plastic and let rest one hour in the refrigerator. Cut dough into 3-4 parts, keep parts you aren't working with wrapped in plastic. Flatten part you are working with and roll through pasta machine until thin and slightly transparent. Sprinkle dough with flour so it doesn't stick. Fold the sheet in half and mark midpoint. Open the sheet back up noting where the center is. Use your Anolini stamp (you can also eyeball it and use a knife or pasta cutter to form the ravioli. I bought the Anolini stamp - it was winter I was bored.) and lightly stamp the dough to mark your shapes. Drop approximately 1 heaping teaspoon full of mushroom filling in the spots marked out on the half pasta sheet. Fold the other side over and with your fingers press between each ravioli, sealing the dough in place. Use the Anolini stamp to press and seal. Place on floured wax or parchment paper set in a cookie sheet.
• 3. BEEF BROTH Heat olive oil in a soup pot, I use 4 quart size, add veggies and sauté until the onions are translucent. Add beef broth bring to a slow simmer. Simmer until veggies are tender. Cover and keep warm.
• 4. ASSEMBLY Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add a handfull of ravioli for each person, I use 10-12 per person. The ravioli are done when they float. Strain ravioli with a slotted spoon and place the ravioli in a soup bowl. Toss with some butter. Pour a ladle or two of beef broth over. Top with grated Parmesan.

Steps:

• Heat 2 tablespoons butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add mushrooms, vegetable broth, garlic, scallions, sage, dill, thyme, and parsley and cook until reduced, about 10 minutes. Separate liquid from mushrooms with a spoon and reserve-this will be your sauce later. The consistency should be thin, and the color should be dark.
• Spoon a small amount of mushroom filling onto one wonton. Take another and seal the two using a fork, wetting the edges with water if necessary. Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling.
• Heat remaining butter in a pan over medium to medium-high heat. Add ravioli and saute until lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Drizzle sauce on top and serve.

Steps:

• Heat oil and saute onion, mushrooms, and garlic.
• Stir in flour and blend.
• Add broth, wine basil, parsley, and pepper.
• Bring the mixture to a boil, add the pasta, and cook until tender.

Steps:

• THE FILLING.
• Melt butter in pan.
• Add olive oil to melted butter.
• Add mushrooms.
• Let mushrooms sweat until they release their juices.
• Add pepper, salt, and onion/garlic powder.
• Add 1/8 cup beef broth and let mixture reduce.
• Once reduced, remove from heat and let cool.
• Add cheeses to blender/food processor.
• Add cooled mushroom mixture to cheese.
• Blend together until smooth.
• Add more broth if mixture is too thick.
• Remove mixture to bowl stir in 1/2 cup of mixed mushrooms.
• Set aside.
• THE DOUGH: Sift flour and salt together.
• Place flour mixture on a board, making a well in the center of the flour.
• Drop eggs into the flour well, using your hand or a fork, break the yolks and beat eggs slightly.
• Combine the eggs and flour together, gradually adding enough warm water to make a stiff dough.
• Knead dough well, until smooth; cover the dough and let it rest for 15 minutes.
• Cut dough in half and roll each half of the dough out on a floured board, into a very thin sheet (about 1/16 to 1/8 inch thick).
• FILLING THE RAVIOLI: Drop about 1 to 1 1/2 teaspoonfuls of filling about 1 1/2 inches apart all along the dough.
• When the sheet of dough is fully dotted with dabs of filling mixture, cover filling with other sheet of dough.
• Using your fingers, gently press dough between each dab of filling to seal it.
• Cut ravioli into squares with a pastry cutter, or very sharp knife.
• DRYING THE RAVIOLI: Allow ravioli to dry for one hour before cooking.
• COOKING THE RAVIOLI: Drop ravioli into 6 to 8 quarts of boiling, salted water and cook for about 10 to 15 minutes, or until dough is tender.
• Remove cooked ravioli from pot carefully with a skimmer or a large slotted spoon, and drain well.
• Serve hot and enjoy with your favorite cream sauce.

Steps:

• Bring 3 cups water to boil in medium saucepan. Add porcini. Remove from heat; let soak until mushrooms are soft, about 20 minutes. Place strainer over medium bowl; line strainer with cheesecloth. Strain mushroom soaking liquid (reserve mushrooms for another use).
• Heat oil in large saucepan over medium heat. Add shallots; reduce heat to medium-low and sauté until shallots are soft, about 5 minutes. Add mushroom soaking liquid, then chicken broth, wine, Sherry, salt, and pepper; bring to boil. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer 5 minutes. DO AHEAD Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate. Bring to simmer before using.
• Cook ravioli in large saucepan of boiling salted water until just tender but still firm to bite. Drain. Add ravioli to hot mushroom broth; ladle into bowls. Sprinkle with green onion tops and serve.
