Watch how to make this recipe

2

In a large saute pan heat 1/4 cup of the olive oil

3

When almost smoking, add the mushrooms and season with salt and pepper

4

Cook until all the liquid has evaporated from the mushrooms, about 6 minutes

5

Add spinach and cook for 2 minutes

6

Remove from heat and place mixture into the bowl of a food processor

7

Pulse until you get a coarse texture

8

Place in bowl and stir in mascarpone and Parmesan cheese

9

10

Line up 3 wrappers on a cutting board

11

Brush with the egg and water mixture

12

Using a tablespoon, arrange 4 dollops of the filling on each wrapper ¿ 2 on the first row and 2 on the second ¿ 1-inch apart

13

Place another wrapper directly on top, pressing around the filling and sealing the edges

14

Using a fluted ravioli cutter, cut out squares of ravioli

15

Each filled wrapper will yield 4 raviolis, giving you a total of 12 ravioli

16

Place ravioli onto a floured baking sheet and keep covered with a linen towel

17

In a large pot, bring to a boil 4 quarts of salted and oiled water

18

Carefully add small batches of ravioli, about 3 to 4 at a time

19

This will prevent them from crowding in the pot and sticking together

Cook for 2 to 3 minutes

Using a spider strainer, carefully remove the ravioli and place on the plate

Tent with foil to keep warm and continue cooking remaining ravioli

When almost smoking, add chopped mushrooms and saute until soft and most of the liquid has evaporated, about 8 minutes

Divide ravioli between 2 serving plates

Add celery and carrots and season with salt and pepper

31

Saute until all the vegetables are soft, about 5 to 10 minutes

32

Add tomatoes and bay leaves and simmer uncovered on low heat for 1 hour or until thick

33

Remove bay leaves and check for seasoning

34

If sauce still tastes acidic, add unsalted butter, 1 tablespoon at a time to round out the flavors

35

Add 1/2 the tomato sauce into the bowl of a food processor

36

Process until smooth

37

Continue with remaining tomato sauce

38

If not using all the sauce, allow it to cool completely and pour 1 to 2 cup portions into freezer plastic bags

39

This will freeze up to 6 months
