Yesterday, our little lady turned one month old! I can hardly believe a month has already passed, though it was certainly a full one – full of laughs and tears, joy and stress, and lots of learning. Learning to be more patient and calm. Learning to cling to the good days and ride out the rough ones. Learning how to do everything one-handed. (The girl loves to be held, what can I say!)

Though I haven’t gotten back into the kitchen for any creative cooking yet, I am able to mix up easy weeknight meals like this ravioli skillet. And sometimes, I have baby wrapped up against my chest for hands-free cooking! After all, gotta keep baby happy while I prepare to make my belly happy with cheesy, carb-ilicious goodness.

With a big green salad on the side, this was one saucy, scrumptious one-pan meal! Just sizzle some Italian sausage in your skillet and add tomato sauce, diced tomatoes and Italian seasonings to make a quick and easy sauce. Toss your ravioli right in and let them bubble away ‘til they’re big and fat, then sprinkle on the shredded cheese. Under the broiler it goes to melt that gooey mozzarella, and onto your plate with a bit of fresh basil for garnish!

This mouthwatering ravioli skillet is definitely going to be part of our regular rotation. It’s super simple and full of hearty home cooked goodness – perfect for busy weeknights and delicious as leftovers!

  31. made this tonight did not change anything every one loved it thank you.

  32. This looks so so yummy ! I’m going to make it . This might be a silly question but if you have frozen ravioli do you leave them out a bit to dethaw before throwing them in the skillet ?!? Thanks so much !

  33. Hi Sam – Not a silly question at all! There’s no need to pre-thaw your ravioli, just add them frozen to the pan.

  34. Thank you so much for posting! This was delicious! I used frozen ravioli and cooked for a couple extra minutes. I am just discovering One Pot Wonders and this is a great one. :)

  35. Very good, easy too.

  36. I would like to know the best sausage for this? I see sweet, mild, and hot. Forgive me as I don’t eat sausage and would like to make this for my girlfriend. Also, what type of raviolis? I see cheese, sausage, etc…?!?! Can anyone please help me?!
