Handmade Pasta, Porcini Mushrooms & Thyme Ravioli, 500g

Porcini Thyme Ravioli is 500g of handmade porcini mushroom and thyme ravioli — the earthy depth of dried and fresh porcini combined with aromatic thyme in a filling that represents the finest of Italian forest cooking. Porcini thyme ravioli brings the forest floor to the Italian table. As a result, the combination of porcini’s extraordinary umami depth and the herbal warmth of thyme creates a filling of great character. Furthermore, porcini are among the most prized wild mushrooms in Italian cooking, central to Tuscan and Umbrian cuisine. In particular, this ravioli suits a simple butter and Parmigiano sauce where the porcini filling can speak clearly.

About Porcini Thyme Ravioli

These handmade fresh pasta products come from a specialist Italian producer making filled pasta by hand using traditional techniques. In particular, handmade pasta has a texture and thickness that only a skilled pasta maker can achieve — thin enough to cook quickly yet robust enough to hold a generous filling. As a result, each pasta shape provides a completely different eating experience from the dried stuffed pasta sold in supermarkets. Furthermore, the fillings use genuinely high-quality ingredients rather than the stabilisers that extend shelf life in factory products. However, fresh pasta has a shorter shelf life than dried. Always cook within the use-by date on the packaging. In particular, the larger 1kg formats suit catering and entertaining where a more generous quantity is needed. Additionally, all formats freeze well and can be cooked directly from frozen with just 2 extra minutes of cooking time. That combination of genuine craft and quality ingredients defines every pasta in this range. That is why this product from The Artisan Food Company consistently impresses even the most discerning cooks.

Why Choose Porcini Thyme Ravioli From Us

Cooking handmade fresh pasta well requires a little more care than cooking dried pasta. In contrast to dried pasta, fresh pasta cooks in 3 to 4 minutes and can become soft quickly if overcooked. As a result, always taste the pasta from 2 minutes of cooking to find the correct moment. Furthermore, use a generous amount of well-salted boiling water and cook at a rolling boil rather than a gentle simmer. However, handle the pasta gently when stirring to avoid breaking the seals and releasing the filling into the water. In particular, dress the cooked pasta with a sauce that complements the filling rather than overwhelming it. Moreover, a simple butter and sage sauce suits almost every stuffed pasta filling as it allows the filling flavour to remain the focus. Additionally, always reserve a cup of pasta water before draining as it helps emulsify the butter sauce. That gentle approach — well-salted water, careful stirring, complementary sauce — produces the finest result from any handmade pasta.

How to Cook Porcini Thyme Ravioli

To get the very best from it:

• Cook in well-salted boiling water at a rolling boil for 3 to 4 minutes, tasting from 2 minutes for the correct al dente bite.
• Stir gently once during cooking to prevent sticking, handling carefully to preserve the pasta seals.
• Furthermore, dress immediately with a complementary sauce or butter and serve without delay for the finest result.
• Additionally, freeze on the day of delivery if not cooking immediately and cook from frozen with 2 extra minutes.

Perfect Pairings

This product pairs beautifully with:

• Good butter, Parmigiano and a few drops of truffle oil for a luxury preparation
• A light cream and thyme sauce alongside to echo the filling herb
• A scattering of fresh thyme and aged Parmigiano over the finished dish
• A glass of Barolo, aged Brunello or a Chianti Classico alongside

Storage: Keep refrigerated and use by the date shown on the packaging. Furthermore, these freeze well — freeze on the day of delivery if not using immediately. However, cook from frozen with 2 extra minutes of cooking time rather than defrosting. Delivered fresh and ready to cook.
