Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ½ lb Italian sausage mild or spicy, casing removed
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 14.5 oz can crushed or diced tomatoes
- ½ cup heavy cream
- ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 package 9–12 oz refrigerated cheese ravioli
- 2 cups fresh baby spinach
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Optional garnish: fresh basil red pepper flakes
Instructions
- Cook the sausage: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add sausage and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned and fully cooked, about 5–6 minutes.
- Add garlic: Stir in the garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
- Make the sauce: Pour in the crushed tomatoes and stir in the heavy cream and Italian seasoning. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Add ravioli: Stir in the ravioli and reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer for 6–8 minutes, or until the ravioli is tender and cooked through.
- Add spinach: Stir in the spinach and cook until wilted, about 1–2 minutes.
- Finish with cheese: Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and stir gently to combine. Garnish as desired and serve hot.
Notes
- Substitute sausage with ground turkey or plant-based sausage for a lighter or vegetarian version.
- Use sun-dried tomato paste or tomato pesto for an extra punch of flavor.
- For a thinner sauce, add a splash of pasta water or broth as needed.
