Cheese Ravioli's with Chicken Italian Sausage and Green Pea Garlic Sauce

Here's a combination I've been working with on a few pasta dishes. In this dish, the cheese ravioli's are mild and offer a great base for the spicy ground sausage and green pea sauce. 

Ingredients:

Cheese ravioli's

1 pound ground Italian chicken sausage

1 cup frozen pea's

1 cup milk

1 tablespoon butter

2-1/2 tablespoon's Wondra flour

2 crushed garlic cloves

Parmesan cheese

Red pepper flakes

Preparation:

Prepare the sauce by taking a 12" saute pan and heating to medium. Add the ground Italian sausage and cook for 5 - 7 minutes or until browned and fully cooked. Let cool and drain in a colander and place back into the saute pan. Set a side for final preparation. 

Take a 4 cup glass measuring cup and add the milk, butter, flour and crushed garlic cloves. Mix well so the flour is dissolved. Heat in the microwave stirring every 30 seconds. After 2-1/2 minutes you should have a thick garlic white sauce.

Add the white sauce and peas to the ground chicken sausage. Heat to medium and add salt and pepper to taste and you're done.

Cook the ravioli's according to directions, which is usually to boil in plenty of water with 1 tablespoon salt added for 10 minutes. When done, add the ravioli's to the sausage and green pea garlic sauce. 

 

To serve, place 5 or 6 ravioli's on a serving plate or shallow bowl. Top the ravioli's with the chicken Italian sausage and green pea garlic sauce. Garnish the dish with parmesan cheese, red pepper flakes and chopped Italian parsley.
