Instructions
Sauté Aromatics: Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add diced onion, season with salt and pepper, and sauté for 3–4 minutes until softened.

Brown Sausage: Add Italian sausage, breaking it apart. Cook until browned and fully cooked.
Build Broth: Stir in chicken broth and crushed tomatoes. Add ravioli directly to the pot. Season with salt and pepper.
Simmer Ravioli: Bring to a gentle simmer and cook for 3–5 minutes until ravioli are tender.
Add Cream & Spinach: Stir in spinach and heavy cream. Simmer gently until spinach wilts.
Taste & Serve: Adjust seasoning if needed. Ladle into bowls and garnish with Parmesan and parsley.
Notes
Watch ravioli closely to avoid overcooking.
Swap Italian sausage with turkey sausage or plant-based alternatives.
Kale or Swiss chard can be used instead of spinach.
Adjust cream quantity for desired richness.
Freeze broth base without ravioli for best texture.
