Ingredients

QuantityIngredient
2tablespoonsOlive oil
2tablespoonsMinced shallots
½poundsJulienned prosciutto
2cupsSliced wild mushrooms
(oyster; shiitake, chantrelles, etc.)
2teaspoonsMinced garlic
cupGrated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
2Sheets Fresh pasta; 8\" by 10\"
¼cupCornmeal
1Bottle Truffle oil
15Sage leaves
Salt; to taste
Freshly-ground black pepper; to taste
Oil; for frying
¼cupGrated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese

Directions

In a saute pan, heat the olive oil. When the oil is hot, saute the shallots for 30 seconds. Add the mushroom and saute for 2 minutes. Add the garlic and prosciutto, saute for 1 minute. Season with salt and pepper. Remove from the heat and turn into a mixing bowl. Stir the cheese into the mushroom mixture and allow to cool. Slice the sheets of pasta in thirds.

Using a hand ravioli molder place one sheet of pasta down. Spoon 2 tablespoons of the mushroom mixture into each square. Place a sheet of pasta over the filling. Press the two sheets together using a wooden bowl.

The pasta sheets should be slightly moist around the edges so the ravioli will seal completely. Bring a pot of salted water up to a boil. Drop the ravioli into the boiling water and cook for 3 to 4 minutes or until the pasta floats for 1 minute. Remove the pasta and drain. Turn into a bowl and toss with truffle oil. Season with salt and pepper. Fry the sage leaves for 30 seconds. Remove from the fryer and drain on a paper-lined plate. Season with salt and pepper. Place the ravioli in a shallow bowl. Drizzle the truffle oil over the pasta. Garnish with the sage leaves and the Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese. This recipe yields 4 servings.
