Can you cook frozen ravioli right in the sauce?

Yes! Add the frozen ravioli to the sauce, and it will cook perfectly.

Can I freeze this recipe?

Yes! You can freeze this meal in an airtight container or large freezer bag. To heat, I would allow to sit at room temperature or in warm water to loosen and add to a pot with a bit of water and slowly heat through.

Do I have to use ground turkey?

Nope! You can use ground beef, ground pork, sliced chicken breast, or another flavor of sausage if you want. If you are a vegetarian, you don’t have to use anything at all, or you can use seitan, plant-based meatballs, or ground soy crumbles if you are looking for a meat substitute.

How can I store and reheat leftovers of ravioli in creamy tomato sauce?

To store leftovers, transfer them to an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days. For reheating, use the stovetop or microwave. On the stovetop, occasionally stirs leftovers in a saucepan over low to medium heat with a splash of water or broth. In the microwave, place a portion in a microwave-safe dish, cover, and heat on medium power in short intervals, stirring occasionally. Avoid reheating in the oven to prevent overcooking. Enjoy your reheated ravioli in creamy tomato sauce!

Instructions

In a large skillet on medium heat, add the olive oil. Once heated, add the divorced shallot and cook for 2-3 minutes, until softened. Next, add the minced garlic and cook until fragrant. Next, add the ground turkey sausage and cook until browned. Be sure to use a spatula to break the meat into medium-sized ground pieces—season with a pinch of salt.
In the same shallow pan, add the pasta sauce, diced tomatoes, and about ½ cup of water to the jar and shake to get more of the pasta sauce and pour into the pan.
Next, add the seasonings and herbs (i.e., fresh oregano, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, smoked paprika, salt, and cayenne pepper). Stir and let simmer for 2-3 minutes.
Finally, add the heavy cream, Romano cheese, and stir.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the frozen ravioli and cook to package instructions. Be sure not to overcook the ravioli, the cooking process should take about 5 minutes.
Drain the ravioli and reserve a cup of pasta water. Once drained, add the ravioli to the pasta sauce and carefully stir into the sauce. Use the reserved pasta water if needed to thin out the pasta if it is too thick.
Reduce the heat to low to medium and cover with a lid. Allow to simmer for 15 minutes. Serve with fresh chopped parsley and grated Parmesan Cheese.
