Wild Mushroom Ravioli in Porcini Broth

This wild mushroom ravioli in porcini broth is a sophisticated high-protein dish that makes a wonderful light lunch or an elegant starter for a dinner party. The depth of flavour comes from the double-hit of earthy mushrooms, using both a shop-bought mushroom pasta and a homemade broth infused with dried porcini. The addition of dry Sherry and white wine provides a crisp acidity that cuts through the richness of the fungi, creating a beautifully balanced and aromatic savoury soup.

Ideal for those seeking a nutritious yet comforting meal, this recipe relies on high-quality store cupboard staples and fresh spring onions for a hit of colour. If you are hosting guests, the fragrant broth can be prepared a day in advance and chilled, leaving you only to cook the fresh pasta and garnish with the bright green onion tops just before serving.
