What You’ll Need
- Ravioli – Use any variety of ravioli. My personal favorites include cheese ravioli or spinach cheese.
- Sausage – Smoked sausage is easy to cook up and adds flavor to the sauce. Replace it with cooked meatballs, leftover chicken, or cooked Italian sausage.
- Ravioli Sauce
- Use your favorite jar of pasta sauce (my favorite pasta sauce is Rao’s).
- Heavy cream adds a creamy richness to the sauce.
- Water helps the ravioli cook without needing to boil it separately.
Variations
- Stir in sundried tomatoes and fresh spinach to make it Tuscan style.
- Sautee some onion in butter or olive oil until softened before adding the ravioli.
- Replace the water with chicken broth.
- Add a sprinkle of red pepper flakes or Italian seasoning if you’d like, or garnish with herbs like fresh parsley or basil.
