¾ cup dry vermouth
Fresh thyme or tarragon, to serve

Directions:
1. Preheat your oven to 200ºC (fan-forced).

1 medium shallot, halved and sliced lengthwise
500g white button mushrooms, thinly sliced
3 tsp Porcini Mushroom Salt, divided
300ml thickened cream, at room temperature
Grated Parmesan, to serve.

Method:
1. Bring a large pot of water to the boil.
2. Heat up the oil and the butter in a large frypan over medium heat. Add the thyme and shallot and fry for 2-3 minutes, careful not to burn them. Mix in the mushrooms, season with 2 tsp of Porcini Mushroom Salt and saute until softened and slightly browned on the edges, this will take about 5-7 minutes.

Let the cream cook over medium-high heat for 2-3 minutes, until it has slightly thickened and is no longer runny. Gently fold in the ravioli and mix well to coat.

1 sprig fresh thyme

Directions
1. Preheat oven to 200°C conventional.
