- 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1 cup of chopped onion
- 2-3 garlic cloves minced
- 64 oz beef broth ( 2 cartons)

- 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 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

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.
