Ingredients

• 20 pieces Cheese ravioli
• 8 ounces Smoked sausage
• 1 medium Zucchini
• 1 medium Yellow onion
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 cloves Garlic cloves
• 1 cup Crushed tomatoes
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 teaspoon Dried basil
• 0.5 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon Red pepper flakes
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the cheese ravioli according to package instructions. Drain and set aside, tossing lightly with a drizzle of olive oil to prevent sticking.

Step 2

While the ravioli cooks, slice the smoked sausage into 1/4-inch thick rounds. Dice the zucchini into bite-sized pieces, and thinly slice the onion.

Step 3

In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the smoked sausage and cook until lightly browned, about 4-5 minutes. Remove the sausage from the skillet and set aside.

Step 4

To the same skillet, add the sliced onion. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until translucent, then add the zucchini and cook for an additional 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized.

Step 5

Mince the garlic cloves and add them to the skillet with the vegetables. Cook for 30 seconds, stirring continuously, until fragrant.

Step 6

Reduce the heat to medium-low and add the crushed tomatoes, heavy cream, grated Parmesan cheese, dried basil, dried oregano, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes to the skillet. Stir until the sauce is well combined and heated through, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 7

Return the cooked sausage to the skillet and toss to coat in the rosa sauce. Let it simmer for 2 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 8

Carefully fold in the cooked ravioli, ensuring each piece is evenly coated with sauce. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to heat through.

Step 9

Serve the ravioli immediately, garnished with freshly chopped parsley, if desired.
