kcalIngredients
- 4 sweet or hot Italian sausage links
1 (20-ounce) package fresh refrigerated cheese ravioli
1 pint cherry tomatoes
2 bell peppers, cut into bite-sized pieces
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons olive oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
½ teaspoon garlic powder
Salt and black pepper, to taste
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
Fresh parsley, chopped
Marinara or pesto for serving (optional)
Directions
- 1. Heat the olive oil in a large cast-iron skillet over medium heat.
2. Add the Italian sausage links and cook for 10–12 minutes, turning occasionally until browned on all sides and cooked through (160°F internal temperature). Remove the sausage from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing into 1-inch pieces.
3. In the same skillet, add the butter. Once melted, stir in the garlic, Italian seasoning, and garlic powder. Cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
4. Add the bell peppers and cherry tomatoes. Cook for 5–6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the peppers begin to soften and the tomatoes start to blister.
5. Add the fresh refrigerated ravioli directly to the skillet. Pour in ¼ cup water or chicken broth, cover with a lid, and cook for 4–5 minutes, stirring once halfway through. The steam will gently cook the ravioli.
6. Return the sliced sausage to the skillet and toss everything together until heated through.
7. Sprinkle generously with Parmesan cheese and fresh parsley. Serve immediately with warm marinara or pesto on the side, if desired.
