DIRECTIONS
- 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.
