Ingredients

  • 3 links of sweet Italian sausage casings removed (you'll need 1 lb of ground Italian sausage if not using links)
  • 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 cup of chopped onion
  • 2-3 garlic cloves minced
  • 64 oz beef broth ( 2 cartons)
  • 1 cup red wine never use a wine in your cooking that you wouldn't drink-make it a good one
  • 14.5 oz can diced tomatoes do not drain
  • 8 oz can tomato sauce
  • 3 shredded carrots
  • 2 zucchini cut into small chunks
  • 1 bell pepper diced
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • 1 tsp dried basil or 4 large basil leaves finely chopped
  • 1/2 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp fresh ground pepper
  • 9 oz container of Buitoni four-cheese ravioli in the refrigerator pasta section of your grocery store
  • 1 cup fresh spinach leaves stems removed
  • fresh grated Parmesan cheese for topping

Instructions

  • Brown sausage in a large pot ( I love my enameled cast iron dutch oven for this-it is great for soups and braising foods.)
  • Remove sausage from pot and set aside.
  • Add olive oil to pan and saute onion and garlic until tender but not browned.
  • Add beef broth, wine, tomatoes, tomato sauce, carrots, zucchini, bell pepper, sugar, basil, oregano, salt, pepper, and cooked sausage.
  • Boil then reduce to simmer (low heat) for 40 minutes.
  • Stir in ravioli and simmer for another 10-15 minutes.
  • Stir in spinach and cook until just wilted.
  • Turn off heat and ladle into bowls.
  • Top with freshly grated Parmesan cheese.
