Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 pound ground veal
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 cup finely chopped onions
- 1 pound assorted exotic mushrooms, cleaned and stemmed
- 2 tablespoons minced shallots
- 1/2 cup peeled, seeded, and chopped tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon chopped garlic
- 2 cups veal reduction
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh parsley leaves
- 8 ounces mascarpone cheese
- 2 tablespoons chiffonade fresh basil leaves
- 32 squares fresh pasta (3 by 3 inches) such as wonton wrappers
- 4 ounces grated Parmigiano-Reggiano
- Chopped fresh chives, for garnish
Directions
Heat the olive oil in a large saute pan, over medium heat. Season the veal with 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper. Add the veal to the pan and brown, about 5 to 6 minutes. Add the onions and saute for 2 minutes. Add the mushrooms and 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes, or until the mushrooms have released most of their liquid. Add the shallots and tomatoes and cook for 2 minutes. Add the 2 tablespoons of garlic and saute for 1 minute. Add the veal reduction and bring the liquid up to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook for 6 to 8 minutes. Adjust seasonings with salt and pepper, to taste. Stir in the butter and parsley. Set aside and keep warm.
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. In a mixing bowl, combine the cheese, remaining teaspoon of garlic, remaining 1/4 teaspoon of salt, remaining 1/8 teaspoon pepper and basil. Mix well. Divide the cheese mixture evenly among the centers of each of 16 squares of the fresh pasta. With a little water, lightly wet the edges of the pasta. Place the remaining pasta squares over the cheese. Press the 2 squares of pasta together tightly, then crimp using the tines of a fork to seal the ravioli completely. Place the ravioli in the boiling water, in batches if necessary, and cook until tender, about 4 to 5 minutes. Remove from the water and drain completely.
To serve, place 2 ravioli in the center of each shallow bowl. Spoon the stew over the pasta. Garnish with the cheese and chives

I find the suggested time frame QUITE MISLEADING. Veal reduction is not something one just whips up...
The recipe is tasty but be warned you will struggle to find veal reduction and making it takes two days to do correctly.

I make some sort of variant of this recipe regularly, often substituting ground beef for veal, and then beef stock too. The sauce is so delicious! Also, as a time (and work! saver, I purchase pre-made ravioli, or even gnocchi works well for a different twist. This is really great dish, and doesn't have to be as complicated or expensive with a few substitutes.
