By MooK

Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 pound spicy Italian sausage, casing removed
• 1 (14.5-ounce) can fire roasted diced tomatoes
• 1 (8-ounce) can tomato sauce
• 1 tablespoon tomato paste
• 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
• 1 (16-ounce) package cheese-filled ravioli
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1/4 cup basil leaves, chiffonade

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to broil.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add Italian sausage and cook until browned, about 3-5 minutes, making sure to crumble the sausage as it cooks; drain excess fat.

Stir in tomatoes, tomato sauce, tomato paste, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, salt and pepper, to taste. Stir in ravioli and 1 1/2 cups water. Bring to a boil; cover, reduce heat and simmer until ravioli is tender, about 8-10 minutes.

Remove from heat; top with mozzarella and Parmesan. Place into oven and cook until melted and golden brown, about 2-4 minutes.
Serve immediately, garnished with basil, if desired.
