Truffle Ravioli with Mushrooms and Sage
Truffle Ravioli with Mushrooms and Sage is a delicious meatless meal of homemade ravioli dough filled with ricotta cheese and Black Truffle Pecorino cheese. The ravioli are topped with a buttery mushroom and sage sauce. The whole dish is sprinkled with more of the delicious Black Truffle Pecorino cheese. Since I used my Phillips Pasta Machine, this whole dish took me less than one hour from start to finish. If you don’t have a Phillips pasta machine, please use the dough recipe for my Ricotta and Parmesan Ravioli.
The Equipment You’ll Need
- A Phillips Avanti Pasta Machine- You will need this machine to make this dough recipe.
- A Pot- Use a big pot to boil water for the ravioli.
- A Large Skillet- I use a big skillet to cook my mushroom sauce. That works best for completely covering the ravioli in this delicious mushroom sauce.
The Ingredients You’ll Need for Truffle Ravioli with Mushrooms and Sage
- Fresh Ricotta Cheese- Of course, you could use regular supermarket ricotta cheese for this recipe. But, I really prefer the taste and thick consistency of fresh ricotta cheese.
- Black Truffle Pecorino Cheese- This cheese is all you need to give this dish terrific truffle flavor. You can find it with the gourmet cheeses at your market.
- Flour- I use all purpose flour in this recipe.
- Sage- Be sure to use fresh sage.
- Mushrooms- I use plain white mushrooms in this recipe.
How I Made My Ravioli
- First, I set up my pasta machine. I’m definitely mechanically challenged, so I had to ask my teen for assistance.
- Then, I stirred together the filling ingredients.
- Next, I measured and weighed all my ingredients for the dough.
- Then, I added the dough ingredients to the machine, and in five minutes, all my pasta sheets were ready to cut.
- Next, I filled and sealed all the ravioli.
- Next, I made the mushroom and sage sauce.
- Then, I boiled the water. I was careful to make sure the water was just barely bubbling.
- Finally, I tossed the ravioli in the sauce.
One of the things I love about these Truffle Ravioli with Mushrooms and Sage, is that you can make them ahead of time and then heat them up in the microwave. So, if you love truffles, you need to try this quick and easy ravioli recipe.

Press all around the edges with first your finger, and then a fork. Place them back on the pans and cover with plastic.

Ricotta and Parmesan Ravioli with Pomodoro Sauce
Equipment
- pasta rolling machine
Ingredients
For the Ricotta and Parmesan Ravioloni:
- 3 cups all-purpose flour (360g)
- 4 large eggs, beaten
- 1 tsp. extra virgin olive oil
- ¼ tsp. kosher salt
- 1½ cups fresh ricotta cheese
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 egg yolks
- ½ tsp. kosher salt
For the Pomodoro Sauce:
- 6 plum tomatoes, stems cut out
- 1 tbsp. butter
- 1 tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tbsp. minced garlic
- 1 cup minced onion
- 2 tbsp. red wine
- 1 bay leaf
- ½ cup chicken broth
- 3 basil leaves
- ½ tsp. sugar
Instructions
For the Ricotta and Parmesan Ravioloni:
- On a large cutting board, place the flour in a large mound. Make a crater in the center and add the eggs, olive oil, and salt. Using a fork, slowly incorporate the flour into the eggs. When the dough becomes very thick, use your hands to finish mixing the dough. You may not need all the flour for your dough.
- Knead the dough for 5 minutes or until it's smooth. Cover it with a bowl and let it rest for 30 minutes. Meanwhile, mix the ricotta, Parmesan, egg yolks, and salt together, for your filling.
- Cut the dough into 6 equal pieces. Cover 5 pieces with a towel. Roll the sixth piece into a small rectangle, dust it with flour, and feed it into the pasta machine, on the thickest setting. Repeat feeding it through the machine, using a narrower setting each time, until the dough is very thin. Repeat with the remaining 5 pieces. After you roll out each piece of dough, cover it very loosely with plastic wrap.
- Lay out one strip of dough at at time, and put teaspoons of filling in a line, about two inches apart, in the upper half of the dough strip. Dab water all around the cheese, fold the bottom of the dough on top of the cheese, and then cut it with a pastry or pizza wheel.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil, and cook the ravioloni in 4 batches for about 5 minutes each. Drain and serve with Pomodoro Sauce.
For the Pomodoro Sauce:
- In a three quart saucepan, half filled with boiling water, simmer the tomatoes for three minutes, or until their skins have loosened.
- Drain and peel the tomatoes, and chop them up.
- In a large Dutch oven, heat the butter and oil and cook the onion, and garlic until they're softened. Add the tomatoes and the rest of the ingredients, and simmer for 25 minutes, stirring frequently.
