💡Tips
1. Cooking the Italian Sausage
When browning the Italian sausage for the filling, take the time to cook it thoroughly and break it into small, even pieces.
This ensures that the filling has a consistent texture and that there are no large chunks of meat that might tear the cheese wrapper. Use a spatula or wooden spoon to break up the sausage as it cooks.
If you find that your sausage is releasing a lot of fat as it cooks, you might want to drain some of it off before mixing it into the filling. This can help prevent your ravioli from becoming too greasy.
2. Experimenting with Variations
While the recipe is delicious as is, don’t be afraid to experiment with different variations. You could try different types of ground meat in the filling, such as beef, chicken, or even lamb. Each will give a unique flavor to the dish.
You can also play around with the seasonings. For example, you might add some red pepper flakes for heat, or use herbs like basil or oregano for a different flavor profile.
