Additional Tips:

  • For a creamier filling, you can add a dollop of mascarpone cheese to the mixture.
  • Experiment with different types of mushrooms, such as shiitake or cremini, for a unique flavor profile.
  • If you have leftover ravioli, you can freeze them for later use. Simply lay them out on a baking sheet and freeze until solid, then transfer to a freezer-safe bag or container.
