Why We Love This Cheese Ravioli Recipe

This sausage and cheese ravioli is so full of flavor and so much fun to make. It’s filled with so many tasty ingredients, so it’s hard to go wrong here. The tomato and mozzarella stuffed ravioli cooks quickly, and it tastes super fresh. Cooking the sauce, pasta, and sausage all in one pan saves a lot of hassle.

  • Quick. Using store-bought ravioli means this recipe is on the table in just 30 minutes.
  • Simple. Just brown some sausage, then cook the ravioli in tomato sauce– it’s that easy!
  • Flavorful. We used tomato and mozzarella stuffed ravioli for a fresh and cheesy flavor.

Variations on Sausage and Cheese Ravioli

You can use any kind of ravioli for this recipe. Four cheese, mozzarella, or even spinach and cheese are all great choices. To make this dish a bit spicier, use hot Italian sausage; for a milder flavor, use sweet Italian sausage.

This looks wonderful and I can’t wait to try it. Can I used a cast iron skillet? Also, I don’t have a cover for mine – may I cover it with a cookie sheet instead?
