Ingredients

375 grams Italian sausage (mild or spicy) about ¾ pound
1 medium onion
3 cups marinara or tomato pasta sauce
2 teaspoons minced garlic
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
500 grams fresh cheese ravioli (about 1 pound)
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
2 tablespoons shredded Parmesan cheese
fresh basil for garnish if desired

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F and lightly grease a 9x13" baking dish.
In a large skillet, cook Italian sausage and onion over medium heat until sausage is browned.
Stir in tomato sauce, garlic and Italian seasoning and simmer on low while you cook the ravioli.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook ravioli for 2-3 minutes, just until al dente. Reserve 1 cup pasta water and drain the rest.
Stir ¾ cup pasta water into the sauce -- it will look thin, but it will keep the pasta nice and saucy as it bakes! You can add up to 1 cup if you prefer.
Add cooked ravioli and sauce to pan, and toss lightly to coat. Top with mozzarella and parmesan cheese, and bake for 15 minutes or until cheese is starting to brown.
Top with fresh basil or other herbs before serving if desired.
