Ingredients

Directions

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over high heat. Add the mushrooms and season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Cook, undisturbed, until browned on the bottom, about 1 minute, then toss and continue to cook, tossing occasionally, until browned all over, 2 to 3 more minutes.
  2. Reduce the heat to medium and add the butter to the pan; let melt. Stir in the shallots and rosemary and cook until the shallots begin to soften, about 2 minutes. Add the marsala and bring to a simmer; cook until reduced to a light syrup, about 1 minute. Add 1 cup boiling water from the pasta pot and the heavy cream; bring to a simmer and cook until reduced by about half, 2 to 3 minutes.
  3. Meanwhile, cook the ravioli in the boiling water as the label directs for al dente; reserve 1/2 cup cooking water, then drain. Add the ravioli to the skillet, sprinkle with the parsley and toss to coat, adding a little of the reserved cooking water if the ravioli seem dry. Remove from the heat. Sprinkle with the Parmesan and toss; season with salt and pepper. Serve in shallow bowls and top with more Parmesan.
