Incredible Sausage Ravioli Soup Food

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.

EASY ITALIAN SAUSAGE SOUP WITH CHEESE RAVIOLI

Steps:

• In a large soup pot put the olive oil and onion. Stir-fry over medium heat for 6-7 minutes.
• If the sausage is in casings, remove the casings. Add the sausage to the diced onion and break up the meat into small pieces, cooking until browned.
• Add the minced garlic and cook one minute.
• Add the diced tomatoes and cook, stirring frequently for 3 minutes.
• Add the chicken broth and black pepper. Bring the liquid to a boil, reduce heat and cook for about 15 minutes.
• Add the cheese ravioli and cook until just tender, no more than 3 minutes.
• Turn off heat and add the spinach leaves.
• Serve the Parmesan cheese as a garnish.
• Notes: 1. Substitute the fresh tomatoes with canned diced, canned crushed, or even tomato sauce. 2. If you don't like spinach, you may use carrots and peas or other desired vegetables, or omit entirely. 3. If you don't have cheese ravioli, use regular dried pasta, just cook it longer. Orzo pasta works great.
