This is one of the easiest weeknight dinners I know. And delicious. I have also served it to guests on the weekend and they loved it. I use 20 ounces of refrigerator ravioli; if you use frozen, let it thaw on the counter while you make the sauce. Here is how I make it.
Sauté 1 pound of Italian sausage in a little olive oil over medium low heat until no longer pink. Pour in 24 ounces of your favorite pasta sauce. I usually rinse the jar with a little vodka and add it to the sauce. Simmer for 10 minutes over low heat stirring often and remove from the heat.
Spray a 7 ½ x 11 baking dish with cooking spray and add a little sauce to the bottom. Layer half of the ravioli and cover with half of the remaining sauce. Sprinkle with freshly grated parmesan cheese and repeat the layer making sure the top is covered with parmesan. Cover with tin foil and pop into a preheated 400-degree oven and bake for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and bake 15 minutes longer. Let cool for a few minutes before serving.
Add a salad – and maybe garlic bread – and you have a perfect weeknight dinner. Enjoy!
