Make this rich and flavorful Creamy Tuscan Ravioli with Italian Sausage. This recipe delivers restaurant-style comfort food using sun-dried tomatoes and spinach in a simple Parmesan cream sauce.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound Italian sausage, casings removed
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 small yellow onion, finely chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil, drained and chopped
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, plus more for serving
  • 5 ounces fresh spinach
  • 1 (16-ounce) package cheese ravioli (store-bought is fine)
  • Fresh basil, chopped, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Cook the Italian sausage in a large skillet over medium heat, breaking it up with a spoon until it is fully browned. Drain off excess grease.
  2. Add the olive oil, chopped onion, and minced garlic to the skillet with the sausage. Cook until the onion softens, about 4 minutes.
  3. Stir in the chopped sun-dried tomatoes, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. Pour in the chicken broth and let it simmer for 2 minutes, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
  5. Reduce the heat to low. Stir in the heavy cream and grated Parmesan cheese. Heat gently until the sauce thickens slightly. Do not boil.
  6. Add the fresh spinach to the sauce. Stir until the spinach wilts down completely, about 2 to 3 minutes.
  7. While the sauce is simmering, cook the ravioli according to package directions. Drain well.
  8. Add the cooked and drained ravioli directly to the skillet with the Tuscan cream sauce. Toss gently to coat everything evenly.
  9. Serve immediately, garnished with extra grated Parmesan cheese and fresh basil.

Notes

  • You can substitute ground turkey or ground beef for the Italian sausage if you prefer.
  • For a richer flavor, use the oil from the sun-dried tomato jar instead of plain olive oil in step 2.
  • If your sauce becomes too thick while simmering, add a splash of the reserved pasta water or extra chicken broth to reach your desired consistency.
