Tomato & Ricotta Stuffed Ravioli
with Creamy Chicken Sausage
- Milk
- Eggs
- Wheat
We love pasta in all its shapes, sizes, and sauces, but there’s something extra-special about ravioli, bursting with flavor from the inside out. These ravioli star herbaceous, fresh tomato and the cheese trifecta: pillowy ricotta, melty mozz, and tangy parmesan. But our chefs wouldn’t leave you with ravioli alone—they've topped the pasta pillows with an extra creamy chicken sausage and bell pepper sauce sprinkled all over with lemon zest to give this meal the restaurant-worthy treatment it deserves. Talk about pasta-tively delicious!

Cooking Steps
• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Wash and dry all produce. • Halve, core, and thinly slice bell pepper. Peel and mince garlic. Zest and quarter lemon.
• Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add bell pepper and cook until lightly browned and slightly softened, 3-4 minutes. • Add sausage* and garlic; cook, breaking up meat into pieces, until sausage is browned and cooked through, 4-6 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
• 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, then drain.
• Once sausage is cooked through, stir in cream cheese, stock concentrate, 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4 servings), and ¼ cup plain water (1⁄3 cup for 4). Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring, until combined and creamy. • Reduce heat to low; gently stir in drained ravioli, crème fraîche, and a big squeeze of lemon juice to taste. If needed, add reserved pasta cooking water a splash at a time until pasta is thoroughly coated in sauce. Season with salt and pepper. • Divide between bowls, top with lemon zest, and serve with any remaining lemon wedges on the side.

Reviews from our home cooks
The sausage was good and flavorful, as was the sauce, but the ravioli themselves were disappointing- they lacked flavor and they weren't very stuffed, it felt like there was almost no filling. The bell pepper didn't feel like enough of a vegetable component, it felt like it needed something else like maybe some baby arugula to top it with.
Very good recipe. Ravioli was great, the chicken sausage was tasty. The dish actually felt light and healthy for being ravioli and sausage.
This was a very satisfying meal. Came together so quickly keeping me with minimum time in a hot kitchen today. The chicken sausage made it have big flavor in short time. I did add a little bit of diced onion to the sauce and Parmesan to the top. Very nice dinner.
Very good! Instructions were easy to follow and this was a quick dish to prepare. There was not much sauce to coat the pasta even with adding some of the pasta cooking water. The red bell pepper strips would have been better if the cooking time was shorter. The chicken sausage really gave this dish a punch of flavor. Tasty meal!
We thoroughly enjoyed the fresh stuffed ravioli. I'm a tomato fanatic, so this was the perfect end to my day! Incredibly flavorful!
The only thing that I dislike is that it is not easy to find chicken sausage in my neck of the woods. But now I can use pork regular sausage too. So far my favorite of all the dishes I've ever had. Delicious!!! That sauce would be amazing on any pasta. I learned how to build those flavors because of this recipe.
We LOVE the ravioli dishes.... they are easy to make and so fresh and delicious. Helpful because I would not have thought to prepare this dish on my own....
Flavors were delicious. Wanted more sauce and if you're single like me, you eat half for dinner and the other half the next day, pasta absorbs sauce. So, more sauce. Cut red bell pepper smaller and can the ravioli be smaller? They're huge.
Different but tasty....my husband didn't care for the Chicken Sausage.....but loved the Ricotta Stuffed Ravioli.....
The ravioli recipe was the perfect avenue to add some of my fresh garden vegetables. Eggplant!
