4. Chop the chanterelles finely, place in a mixing bowl, and stir in rosemary, provolone and cream. Mix well and add salt and pepper to taste.
5. To assemble, roll pasta dough into very thin sheets. Place some filling about an inch apart on one sheet. Lightly brush with water, then place another sheet on top; press to seal. Cut ravioli out with cookie cutter. Cook ravioli in salted boiling water until tender.
6. Meanwhile, reheat the corn broth. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper. Drain ravioli well and place in pasta bowls. Ladle broth over top.
