12ouncesmushrooms, sliced

1/2cupheavy cream
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
2tablespoonsunsalted butter, cut into small pieces
1/4cupParmesan cheese, grated, plus extra for top

Instructions
In a large stock pot, bring water to a boil. Cook the ravioli in boiling water until tender, about 10-15 minutes.
While the water is coming to a boil, heat the olive oil over medium heat in a large skillet. Add the mushrooms and cook until they are a bit browned and their juices evaporate, about 10 minutes.
Add the peas if you are using them and cook 3 minutes more, or until they are heated through.
Stir in the cream and bring the mixture to a boil. Season with the sauce with salt and pepper, then remove it from the heat.
Drain the ravioli thoroughly and set them aside in a bowl.
Melt the butter in the stock pot that you used to cook the ravioli in. Return the ravioli to the pot and toss them in the butter to coat them.
Pour on the mushroom cream sauce and add some grated Parmesan cheese. Heat until it is bubbly, about 1 minute.
Serve with some extra Parmesan cheese on each serving, plus a sprinkling of chopped fresh parsley.
