Ingredients

• 16 ounces cheese ravioli
• 8 ounces Italian sausage (mild or spicy)
• 1 large red bell pepper
• 1 large yellow bell pepper
• 1 medium onion
• 3 cloves garlic
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 14 ounces crushed tomatoes
• 0.5 cup chicken broth
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon dried basil
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
• 0.25 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the ravioli and cook according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.

Step 2

While the ravioli cooks, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Step 3

Remove the casing from the Italian sausage, if necessary, and crumble it into the skillet. Cook the sausage for 5-7 minutes, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until browned and fully cooked. Transfer the cooked sausage to a plate and set aside.

Step 4

In the same skillet, add the onion, red bell pepper, and yellow bell pepper. Sauté for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are soft.

Step 5

Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for 1 minute, until fragrant.

Step 6

Pour the crushed tomatoes and chicken broth into the skillet. Stir in the oregano, basil, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using).

Step 7

Return the cooked sausage to the skillet, stir, and let the sauce simmer for 8-10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.

Step 8

Add the cooked ravioli to the skillet and gently toss to coat the pasta in the sauce.

Step 9

Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the dish and stir until melted.

Step 10

Serve the ravioli hot, garnished with fresh parsley, if desired.
