Ravioli And Italian Sausage Skillet Recipes

ITALIAN SAUSAGE RAVIOLI

Steps:

• In a large skillet, add 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Then bring the heat to medium-high heat.
• Add in 1 cup of finely chopped yellow onion and 2 minced garlic cloves. Stir until the onion becomes translucent.
• Then add 8 oz of sliced baby Bella mushrooms and stir until they become tender (about 2-3 minutes).
• Then pour in 2 cups puréed San Marzano tomatoes and 1 cup heavy whipping cream. Let the sauce simmer over low heat for about 5 minutes with stirring occasionally.
• In the meantime, cook 18 oz of sausage ravioli in a pot of salted boiling water. Cook al dente.
• Now remove the sauce from the heat and stir in 1 cup of grated Parmesan cheese. Then season with salt (to taste).
• Lastly, stir in the cooked sausage ravioli and garnish with 3 chopped basil leaves. Serve warm.

20-MINUTE SAUSAGE AND PEPPER RAVIOLI SKILLET

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
• Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add both of the bell peppers and the onion and season with 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of black pepper. Saute, stirring occasionally, until just beginning to soften, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook, stirring frequently, until just beginning to turn golden, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the crushed tomatoes, red pepper flakes and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Bring to a boil, then lower heat and simmer until slightly thickened, stirring occasionally, about 8 minutes.
• While the sauce is cooking, boil the ravioli according to the package instructions. Drain.
• Add the cooked ravioli to the skillet and stir to coat in the sauce. Top evenly with provolone and warm until cheese is melted, 1 to 2 minutes. Top with fresh basil leaves.

RICOTTA AND SAUSAGE-FILLED RAVIOLI

Steps:

• Pulse together the onion, celery, and carrot in a food processor until finely chopped, to make a pestata. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, scrape in the vegetables and cook until they begin to soften, about 3 to 4 minutes.
• Pour the white wine over the sausage in a medium bowl, and crumble the sausage into small pieces with your fingers. Add the sausage and wine to the skillet with the vegetables, breaking up the sausage as finely as possible with a wooden spoon. Sauté until the sausage is completely cooked through, about 4 to 5 minutes. Scrape into a bowl to cool. When the sausage is completely cooled, stir in the ricotta, grated cheese, and parsley.
• Roll the dough: Cut it into four equal pieces. (You could roll the dough out with a rolling pin, but a small Imperia pasta machine is not expensive; it rolls the dough out in even strips and makes ravioli making so much easier.) Flatten a piece of dough into a rectangle, approximately 2 inches by 2 inches, and roll through the widest setting on the pasta machine. Fold this rectangle of dough like a letter, and roll through again. Repeat the rolling and folding a few more times, to knead and smooth the dough. Repeat with the remaining pieces of dough.
• Switch to the next-narrowest setting on the machine. Roll a dough strip through, short end first. Repeat with the remaining dough strips. Continue this process with narrower settings, now rolling each strip only once through each setting, until you've gotten to the next-to-last setting and the dough strips are about as wide as the machine (6 inches).
• Lay one strip out on a floured counter, and place a heaping teaspoon of filling at about 4-inch intervals down the center of the strip (you will get about six or seven large ravioli per strip). Brush around the filling with water, fold the strip of dough over the fillings, the edges touching evenly, and seal the edges by pressing lightly. Using a serrated pastry cutter or pizza cutter, cut the ravioli evenly between the fillings into rectangles. Repeat with remaining dough and filling.
• Keep the ravioli on a baking sheet lined with a clean kitchen towel, and covered, until you are ready to cook them; up to 2 or 3 hours is fine. To cook the ravioli, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Drop the ravioli into the pot one by one, stirring with a wooden spoon periodically so they do not stick to the bottom.
• Have a sauté pan with the bubbling sauce ready to dress the ravioli. Once the ravioli are in the boiling water, cook for 3 minutes, then fish them out with a spider or slotted spoon. Drain them, and set them in the sauce. Stir gently to coat the ravioli with sauce. When ready to serve, toss some grated cheese over the ravioli plate, and spoon the remaining sauce on top.
• notes
• You can serve these with a simple marinara and some grated Grana Padano or sautéed with butter and sage and some grated Grana Padano.
• If you want to freeze the ravioli: Once you have set them on a lined baking sheet, cover with a film of plastic wrap and set in the freezer for 2 or 3 hours, till frozen. Gently collect the frozen ravioli, set them flat in a ziplock bag, and lay the bag flat in a sealed plastic container. They will last in the freezer for a month or more.

ITALIAN SAUSAGE RAVIOLI BAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch dish and set aside.
• Cook Italian sausage in a skillet over medium-high heat until browned and crumbly, 5 to 10 minutes. Drain off grease. Add spaghetti sauce, diced tomatoes, beef broth, Italian dressing, and sugar. Mix until well combined. Remove from heat and add uncooked ravioli; stir to combine. Pour into the prepared dish.
• Bake in the preheated oven until ravioli are tender, 45 to 55 minutes.
• Top with mozzarella cheese and let sit until cheese is melted. Sprinkle with basil before serving.

RAVIOLI WITH SAUSAGE

• Cook ravioli according to package directions. Meanwhile, in a large skillet, saute sausage and green pepper for 2-3 minutes or until green pepper is tender. Stir in spaghetti sauce; heat through. Drain ravioli; toss with sausage mixture. Sprinkle with cheese.
