As a kid one of my favorite things to eat was canned ravioli. It was just the best thing ever and I would eat it any chance that I got and my kids have been the same way growing up.
My tastes has changed, probably since my kids are older. Either the recipe changed or my tastes in food has matured some. The canned ravioli began to taste too sweet, and I’m sure you guys know which brand I’m referring to. The one with the chef of course.
So I decided to buy some frozen ravioli and make my own in my favorite kitchen toy.
Yes the Instant Pot, a lot of my most recent recipes seem to evolve around it. Also should I point out how life changing the Instant Pot is?
Yeah, I’m serious. I see it as the best thing ever and I have less dishes to clean every night.
So here is how I made my ravioli.
Instant Pot Ravioli Recipe
- Bag Frozen Cheese Ravioli
- 1lb Italian Sausage
- Jar Spaghetti Sauce
- 1 Cup Parmasaan Cheese
- 1 Cup Mozarella Cheese
- Set Instant Pot to Saute and brown the Italian Sausage
- Drain the fat from the pot.
- Add the bag of ravioli and the spaghetti sauce stir
- Add enough water just to cover the ravioli, just cover when you mash down. You don't want to add to much. Put the lid on the Instant Pot.
- Set to Manual for 5 mins, it could take 15 mins or so to build pressure.
- After the timer goes off do a quick release.
- Add the cheese and mix it well.
I hope you enjoy this recipe and be sure to let me know what your favorite Instant Pot Recipe is. Or tell me about a slow cooker recipe, because I would love to adapt it.
What size jar of a spaghetti sauce?
I made this tonight, doubling the recipe, our family is 4 adults and 3 boys, ages 5, 8 and 11. Everybody really liked it, putting in my favorite recipes on Pinterest. I will have to try your other recipes. Thanks for this recipe!
I have to double it as well! Did you have to adjust the cooking time at all? Looking forward to dinner!
No you don’t have to double the time for cooking.
Thank you for the easy, yummy recipe. Some things I did differently was to brown the sausage in a skillet only because it was easier to drain the grease, and use Monterey Jack cheese instead of Mozzarella because that’s what I had. It made enough for 4 good-size adult servings. I’m sure I’ll be making this often.
Hi Folks; I adapted this recipe a bit and we loved it. Brown meat the same, but just soak up
as much grease as wanted with paper towels and discard. Also add a cube of salt pork for
added flavor and brown with meat.
Next add 1 cup of beef broth and one cup of tomato juice . ( heat them in a microwave first)
Add ravioli on top and stir all together. It’s not necessary to completely cover the ravioli.
Steam pressure cook for 4-5 minutes. Release pressure carefully. Cover contents thoroughly with a jar of Alfredo sauce and steam another minute . You’re done.
I buy raviolis from Costco, so it’s a huge size. What size did you use in this recipe?
