Best Creamy Marsala Wine Sauce over Mushroom Ravioli

nmlawrence's Note:

Delicious and creamy marsala wine sauce paired with portobello mushroom stuffed ravioli. Copy-Cat of the Macaroni Grill Mushroom Ravioli entree.

• Total Time: 20 mins
• Prep Time: 5 mins
• Cook Time: 15 mins

Ingredients:

Servings: 3

• 1 lb portabella mushroom ravioli (about 12 ravioli per box)
• 1 1/3 cups marsala wine
• 1 1/3 cups heavy cream
• 1/8 cup 2% low-fat milk
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 3 cups sliced mushrooms
• 1/8 cup diced onion (optional)
• salt and pepper

Directions:

1. Fill a large pot with about 4 quarts of water. Set the burner to high and boil. Add frozen ravioli to boiling water for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally (very gently). The ravioli are done when they float to the top of the water.
2. At the same time you are boiling the water, heat a large skillet with the olive oil. Add onions and mushrooms and sauté until tender, about 3 minutes. Add the Marsala wine and bring to a boil.
3. Boil for 2-4 minutes, adding salt and pepper to taste. Stir in cream and milk and simmer for 5 minutes until heated.
4. Serve in a recessed pasta plate. Pour a generous amount of creamy marsala wine sauce mixture over 3-4 ravioli and serve HOT.
5. **Optional: Serve ravioli on a bed of bowtie pasta for a heartier serving, or substitute the ravioli for thin chicken breasts. Saute the chicken for 15 minutes before the mushrooms, then follow the recipe from there.

This tasted almost exactly like a dish my boyfriend and I love from a local italian resturant! I made it as our New Year's meal and we both ate so much we had no room for dessert! So rich, so delicious and so appropriate for special occasions! Yum-o!

I had no idea that my most favorite creamy marsala sauce was actually this easy. This truly is one of the best marsala sauces I've tasted. The wine and cream and mushrooms mingle to perfection and each one is really allowed to shine.
