Baked Ravioli with Sausage

Oh boy, do I have a good recipe for you today. It’s 4 ingredients, minimal preparation and maximum flavor. And everyone will love it. It’s just good food made from likable ingredients. It will fill the tummies and bring everyone to the table happily. Baked ravioli with sausage could very well be you next go-to meal on your dinner rotation.

What are these 4 ingredients anyways?

Baked ravioli with sausage is as simple as can be. A bag of frozen ravioli, a jar of marinara sauce, some Italian sausage and mozzarella cheese. Boom done. These are ingredients that you can have in your fridge or freezer, ready to go when you’ve realized you didn’t plan on dinner. You’ve got about 50 minutes from no-dinner to dinner with this recipe.

Really, in an ideal world, I have a list inside my cookbook of quickie dinners like this so when I am in a bind, I can figure out what to make quickly. And in a really really ideal world, I have these ingredients in my freezer and pantry all the time so I am ready. But that’s the really really ideal world and that is probably not going to happen.

Open to variation

This recipe isn’t fussy. She is open to variation and preference. And I would say more quickie recipes are. You are welcome to use whatever ravioli your family likes. I used a beef ravioli, but use all cheese if that’s what you guys like. If you see some cheese tortellini by the frozen ravioli, try those. They would be delicious. At Costco, they have those fresh ravioli all the time in all kinds of delicious flavors. Try a thing of those. You can really do whatever is easiest or most delicious for you and yours.

When it comes to the sauce, I just keep basic jarred marinara on hand all the time. Nothing fancy. I sometimes will doctor it up with herbs and sauteed vegetables. But for a recipe like this, it’s just dumped on top and done. Sometimes I notice some fun kinds of jarred pasta sauce at the store, like butternut squash. It would be exciting to use something like that with this recipe!

If you want to get crazy with the whole cheese situation, do it. Smoked mozzarella maybe? Or a little shredded cheddar too? I am not even going to pretend to know what right cheese to use with this. I am not a cheese person, which I count as a blessing. Less calories!

Notes on preparation

  • This baked ravioli with sausage would totally work as a freezer meal. The ravioli is already frozen, so why not? Here’s a really tricky trick. Line your 9×13 inch pan with foil and then plastic wrap, enough to have a huge overhang. Then put your baked ravioli together. Wrap the plastic and foil over the top tightly. Then freeze. Once it’s solid, take the whole frozen baked ravioli out of the pan. You can have your pan back and you just keep the block of frozen baked ravioli in the freezer. When ready to bake, remove all the foil and plastic and plop the whole block into the pan you used to freeze it. Great tricky trick, eh?

LOCO MOCO 🍳🍚🍔 This is a newer favorite at LOCO MOCO 🍳🍚🍔 This is a newer favorite at my house. It is Hawaiian comfort food. Rice topped with a burger patty, brown gravy and a fried egg. It was @phil.rosenthal who reminded me of it. I hadn’t had it in years. I made it for my kids a few weeks ago and they fell in love. I make this more home kitchen-friendly by cooking the burgers in the oven. This is so I don’t set off the fire alarms in my house like I did when I cooked the patties on the stove. While the burger patties cook, I bring together a super simple brown gravy. Then we fry up some eggs and done! Recipe link in profile🔝
