Cook the ravioli according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
In a large skillet, cook the Italian sausage over medium heat until browned and fully cooked. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, melt the butter over low heat. Stir occasionally to prevent burning.
Add the cooked ravioli to the skillet with the melted butter. Toss gently to coat the ravioli in the butter sauce.
Top the ravioli with the cooked sausage, grated Parmesan cheese, and chopped parsley. Serve immediately.
For extra flavor, you can add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the butter sauce.
Use fresh ravioli for a more authentic taste, but frozen ravioli works just as well for convenience.
If you prefer a creamier sauce, add a splash of heavy cream to the butter sauce.
Can I use a different type of sausage?
Yes, you can substitute Italian sausage with chicken sausage, turkey sausage, or even a vegetarian sausage alternative.
Can I make this dish ahead of time?
This dish is best served fresh, but you can cook the sausage ahead of time and reheat it when ready to assemble the meal.
What type of ravioli works best?
Cheese or spinach ravioli pairs well with the butter sauce and sausage, but you can use any type of ravioli you prefer.
Can I freeze leftovers?
Yes, you can freeze leftovers in an airtight container. Reheat in a skillet or microwave until warmed through.
What can I serve with this dish?
A simple side salad or garlic bread pairs wonderfully with this meal.
