Mushroom ravioli with green pea puree

In the mood for some spring-like fare, I leafed through some magazines and settled on mushroom ravioli with green pea puree. I bought a copy of Vegetarian Times a few months ago on a whim, and I never thought I'd make any of the recipes I found so tantalizing. Hubby is a carnivore, and a very adamant one at that, but there are quite a few nights that he is at work so I decided to make a veg meal. Recipe below, and food pornography above. I added some crumbled goat cheese on top since cheese is kind of a sick fetish for me.

Mushroom Ravioli

2 Tbs. olive oil

1/2 small onion chopped (1/2 cup)

1 clove garlic, minced (1 tsp.)

1/2 tsp. chopped fresh thyme

8 oz. wild mushroom mix or assorted mushrooms, chopped (3 cups)

2 Tbs. sherry

24 won ton wrappers

Green Pea Purée

2 cups frozen peas, thawed

3/4 cup low-sodium vegetable broth

2 Tbs. grated Parmesan cheese, plus more for garnish, if desired

1. To make Mushroom Ravioli: Heat oil in skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion, and cook 5 to 7 minutes, or until translucent and starting to brown. Stir in garlic and thyme, and cook 1 minute more. Add mushrooms, and increase heat to high. Sauté mushrooms 7 minutes, or until all liquid has evaporated. Add sherry to pan and cook 1 minute, or until sherry has evaporated. Transfer to bowl, and cool 20 minutes.

2. Place 1 won ton wrapper on work surface. Brush edges with water. Spoon 1 tsp. mushroom mixture in center of wrapper and fold into triangle, pressing edges to seal. Repeat with remaining wrappers and mushroom mixture.

3. To make Green Pea Purée: Blend peas, broth, and cheese in blender until smooth. Transfer to saucepan, and warm over medium heat. Season with salt and pepper, and set aside.

4. Bring large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add ravioli and cook 2 minutes, or until cooked through. Drain. Spoon pea purée onto plates, and top with ravioli. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese, if desired.
