Boring dinners be gone! Keep a few staples in the freezer like ravioli & sausage & you’re all set to make an easy and delicious ravioli recipe. No fuss.
Having an easy and delicious ravioli recipe can do a lot to brighten up these long boring days. Dinner does not have to be the same old, same old. It can be easy, fast and delicious. We keep a few staples in the freezer for nights when we want something everyone will love. Keeping items like all natural pre-cooked sausage and organic ravioli in the freezer are great dinner helpers when you want flavor, but not the fuss. They also make it an easy dinner for kids to help prepare!
This recipe is also wonderful if you have vegetarians in the house as you can just leave the sausage out of their portion. If you want, you can replace it with a can of white beans.
How to Make This Easy and Delicious Ravioli Recipe
This recipe will serve 4.
Total prep and cook time is about 30- 40 minutes
You will need a large pan with a lid and a pot to cook the ravioli.
INGREDIENTS
- Two tbsp olive oil
- One medium onion sliced thin
- One small red pepper sliced thin and halved
- Two garlic cloves diced
- One bunch rainbow swiss chard washed well and cut in about one inch squares, including stems
- One cup broth (beef or vegetable)
- 1/2 cup white wine (Remember the alcohol cooks out so the kids can eat this – wine is just for flavor – if you prefer you can buy cooking wine at the market).
- 1/2 cup water
- One tbsp oregano
- One tbsp basil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- One package (12-16 ounces) fully cooked sausage (We use Niman Ranch sweet Italian, but you can use what you like).
- Two packages (4 servings total) Ravioli of your choice (We used Rising Moon organic spinach & cheese)
- Fresh grated parmesan cheese to top
To make this dish vegetarian, substitute a can of white beans in place of the sausage and use vegetable broth. If using beans, be sure to rinse well before adding when you would have added the sausage.
INSTRUCTIONS
- Cook ravioli according to package instructions.
- In the large pan, heat the olive oil over a medium-high heat.
- Add the onions and sprinkle with a pinch of salt and sauce.
- When the onions start to get soft, add the red pepper and garlic and saute.
- After 3-4 minutes, add broth, wine, water, oregano and basil.
- After another 3-4 minutes, add the rainbow swiss chard and sausage, stir in, and cover.
- Leave covered about 4 minutes until the swiss chard begins to wilt and then stir and cook uncovered another 4 minutes.
- You can also add heat if you like by adding red pepper flakes, but the natural flavors of the ingredients are delicious.
To serve this ravioli recipe, place about 6 ravioli on a lipped pasta plate or shallow bowl, spoon the swiss chard sauce over the top, and sprinkle with freshly grated parmesan cheese. You can serve with a side salad like an arugula, burrata, and tomato with balsamic drizzle. All that’s left to do is enjoy!
