Tips & Variations

  • Use a mix of your favorite mushrooms like cremini, shiitake, or button for a deeper flavor.
  • For a richer sauce, substitute half the milk with cream or add a splash of white wine when cooking the mushrooms.
  • Fresh ravioli can be substituted for frozen, just adjust the cooking time accordingly.
  • Add a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes to the garlic for a subtle heat.

Storage

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently in a skillet over low heat, adding a splash of milk to loosen the sauce if it thickens too much. Avoid microwaving directly to prevent the sauce from separating.
