Meat Lovers Pizza Ravioli Skillet
A hearty one-pan meal combining cheesy ravioli, classic pizza meats, and rich tomato sauce, topped with melted mozzarella for a comforting pizza-inspired pasta dish.
Equipment
- 1 large oven-safe skillet for cooking and serving
- 1 spatula for stirring and folding
Ingredients
- 20 oz refrigerated or frozen cheese ravioli
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ½ lb Italian sausage crumbled
- ½ lb ground beef
- ½ cup pepperoni slices halved
- ½ cup cooked bacon chopped
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1½ cups marinara or pizza sauce
- ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
- ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes optional
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 1½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Fresh basil or parsley optional, for garnish
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat.
- Add Italian sausage and ground beef, cook until browned and fully cooked. Drain excess fat if needed.
- Stir in pepperoni, bacon, and minced garlic, cooking for 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Add marinara sauce, Italian seasoning, red pepper flakes (if using), salt, and black pepper. Simmer for 3 to 4 minutes to blend flavors.
- Gently fold ravioli into the sauce until evenly coated.
- Sprinkle shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan over the skillet.
- Cover and cook on low heat for 5 to 7 minutes until ravioli is tender and cheese is melted, or broil uncovered for 2 to 3 minutes until cheese is bubbly and golden.
- Remove from heat. Garnish with fresh basil or parsley if desired and serve hot directly from the skillet.
Notes
- Use cheese ravioli for best results; meat ravioli adds more richness.
- Customize by adding olives, mushrooms, or bell peppers for extra toppings.
- Broiling creates a crispy, golden cheese topping.
- Store leftovers in the fridge up to 3 days and reheat gently on the stovetop.
