Easy Italian for Busy Nights

by Marie Leslie

I think it’s time for a little food break here.  It’s been a slow-cooker week at our house.  Too many things going on, too much stress for complicated meals that take lots of time. And it’s cold enough that we want warm and hearty meals.

Ravioli with Sausage and Peppers

1 25-opunce bag frozen Cheese Ravioli

1 26-ounce jar or can of Spaghetti Sauce (we usually use Hunts or DelMonte–it’s our food storage back-up–and we like chunky or zesty)

1 lb. of smoked sausage (or Kielbasa), sliced thin

12-16-ounce bag of frozen peppers and onions (or 1 fresh bell pepper and 1 medium onion, sliced)

1/4 cup fresh grated Parmesan

Combine the first four ingredients in your slow cooker and cook on high for 3-4 hours or low for 4-5 hours.  Spoon into serving bowls and top with Parmesan.

Yes.  It’s that easy.  And, it’s that good.
