Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 medium yellow onion finely diced, 1 cup
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 1 pound Italian sausage see note 2
- 1 (24-ounce) container marinara sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper

Notes
Note 1: If you don’t have an oven-safe skillet, prepare meat sauce in skillet, then transfer everything to a 9x13-inch casserole dish.
Note 2: Choose between sweet or spicy Italian sausage based on preference. Remove casings if using sausage links.
Note 3: Use fresh, not frozen, ravioli for this recipe. Rana’s® Mozzarella Cheese Ravioli is recommended.
Note 4: For Parmesan cheese, grate a block using the small holes of a cheese grater.
Note 5: To drain grease from sausage, line a small bowl with foil and place a strainer on top. Pour contents of the skillet into the strainer and discard grease once cooled.
Storage: Best served the same day. Leftovers can become mushy due to ravioli absorbing liquid. Not suitable for freezing and thawing.
