Mamma mia! Here’s some perfect pasta prepared at pronto speed. It starts with chopped tomato and pieces of chicken sausage that cook up quickly in a pan. Once you’ve got your water boiling, in go the ravioli, which become perfectly al dente in a flash since they’re fresh. After that, all you gotta do is stir in the creamy sauce and put it on a plate. Then you mangiare! Mangiare!! Just like mamma would’ve said.

Cooking Steps
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Wash and dry all produce. Trim and thinly slice scallions, separating whites from greens. Dice tomato. Quarter lemon.
Heat a large drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add scallion whites, sausage, and Italian Seasoning. Cook, breaking up meat into pieces, until sausage is browned and cooked through and scallions are softened, 3-5 minutes. Stir in tomato and cook until just softened, 1-2 minutes. Turn off heat.
Once water is boiling, gently add ravioli to pot. Reduce to a low simmer. Cook, stirring occasionally, until al dente and floating to the top, 4-5 minutes. Reserve ½ cup pasta cooking water (1 cup for 4 servings), then drain. TIP: Gently shake strainer with ravioli in it to remove as much moisture as possible.
Stir stock concentrate, a squeeze of lemon juice, and a small splash of reserved pasta cooking water into pan with sausage mixture. Cook over low heat, scraping up any browned bits from bottom of pan, 1-2 minutes. Stir in sour cream and 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4 servings). Season with salt and pepper. TIP: If needed, stir in more reserved cooking water a splash at a time until sauce reaches a creamy consistency.
Carefully stir ravioli into pan with sauce. Season with salt, pepper, and lemon juice to taste.
Divide ravioli mixture between bowls. Garnish with scallion greens. Serve with any remaining lemon wedges on the side.

Reviews from our home cooks
I loved everything about this dinner! The chicken sausage had a hint of spice that was delicious! The spinach and ricotta ravioli was amazing and filling without being too heavy like some pasta can be. The tomato, lemon and green onion add to the dishes flavor! So good!!
One of our favorites! Ravioli & chicken sausage is very tasty. Another simple, quick to make delicious meal. I only used 1/4 of the crushed tomatoes as I feel it would've been overpowering. I was correct, it was fab.
After making this, I was in awe of the different ingredients put together to make this a delicious dish than using the typical Alfredo sauce, tomato sauce, or meat sauce with spinach/cheese ravioli. It was easy, delicious, and I have some diced tomatoes leftover to use for something else. My ravioli package had 15 pieces in it. 5 for each meal including the chicken sausage, getting 3 meals from this 2 meal recipe. I have 4 more meals to prepare, so 1 serving is in the freezer.
Loved this, but the recipe/prep card was missing. I forgot that I could look it up. I winged it... and it was so good!!! love the spinach ricotta ravioli... DO NOT OVER COOK IT! The chicken sausage sauce, with that lemon, was so good. Paired well with a crisp Pinot Grigio.
This dish is our favorite over15 different recipes. The seasoning and pairing of spinach ravioli with seasoned chicken sausage was amazing! In addition, the preparation was easy. Excellent dinner!
The lemon cream sauce with tomato is so light and flavorful and the ravioli are very fresh. The chicken sausage tastes great with the seasonings.
The tomatoes were so fresh and the lemon really made the flavors of the whole meal better. The chicken sausage is the best I've ever had. My favorite meal so far!
Very tasty recipe. The chicken sausage was seasoned with just the right amount of kick. Loved the ricotta cheese and spinach ravioli.
Flavor combination was good; a bit heavy on the amount of chicken sausage (vs the ravioli). The spinach-ricotta ravioli did not have a lot of flavor; nor could i taste any spinach. I can only speak for myself (but I'm sure I'm not alone): those of us that order meals with spinach, love the taste of spinach and want to taste it in the meal.
Yummmmmm... Can't go wrong with ravioli. And the chicken sausage was delish. I am a huge fan of the lemon in the sauce too. HF taught me that little trick and I'll be adding zest to my sauces going forward. Yum!
