Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb spicy Italian sausage
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- ½ red bell pepper, diced
- 1 green bell pepper, diced
- 1 red onion, diced
- 6 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 Tbsp Mrs. Dash Ultimate Garlic Blend (or your favorite garlic seasoning)
- 1 tsp Slap Ya Mama seasoning (or Cajun seasoning of choice)
- ½ tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
- ¼ cup beef broth (or chicken broth)

- ¾ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 25 oz bag frozen cheese ravioli
- ¼ cup reserved pasta water
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

- Sprinkle in garlic blend, Cajun seasoning, and red pepper flakes. Stir well to coat everything.
- Pour in broth and heavy cream, then add Parmesan cheese. Stir until the cheese melts into a smooth, creamy sauce.
- Cook ravioli according to package directions. Reserve ¼ cup pasta water before draining.

Notes
For best flavor, use freshly grated Parmesan and adjust the red pepper flakes to your preferred spice level. Simmering the ravioli in the sauce helps the flavors meld and the sauce thicken nicely.
