Mushroom & Truffle Ravioli with Fresh, Seasonal Black Truffles

Prepare Ingredients:

Fill a large pot with about 1½ litres of water and bring to a boil. Before the water boils, add salt and taste; you should be able to taste the saltiness. It if it’s too bland add bit more salt.

Start Sauce:

Heat a large non-stick pan with high edges on medium. Add butter, sage and the crushed garlic with skin on (you will remove the garlic before adding the pasta). Gently fry ingredients in the foamy butter. (Tip: Be careful not to overcook, as the butter can burn easily.)

Add Cream:

Reduce heat, add the cream, then simmer gently for about 2 to 3 minutes until the sauce reaches a thicker consistency, season with salt and pepper.

Cook Pasta:

In the meantime, add pasta straight from the packet into the boiling water, stir gently in the first minute avoiding any pasta from sticking to the bottom of the pot. Cook, for about 3 to 4 minutes, or until done to your liking. Drain thoroughly.

Finish Ravioli:

Remove garlic (and skin) from pasta sauce. Mix pasta with the sauce, on gentle heat, add parmesan and stir through. Taste and season as required.

You Plate It:

Divide ravioli between plates. Grate over fresh truffle. Serve with mixed lettuce on the side. Enjoy!
