As the days get colder, and my days get busier, there are more days when I need something warm, comforting, and so easy to make. This recipe is it. I struggled with what to name it, as it’s a slight mix between a soup or creamy pasta dish. Either way, it’s absolutely delicious and deserves to be made in your pot.

I use Ground Italian Sausage in this recipe, like I do with my Sausage Lentil Soup, as it comes full with flavor already so I don’t need to chop an onion or mince garlic. All you need to do is sauté the sausage, add the ingredients, pressure cook, add in spinach and cheese and dinner is served. Woo hoo!

How to make Instant Pot Ravioli

First, set your pressure cooker to high sauté. Once the display says “HOT,” add in Italian Sausage and brown it by stirring it sausage. Make sure to either use a wooden spoon or a rubber spatula that can stand up to high heat. I use this one.

Once your sausage is brown, add in beef broth and deglaze the bottom of the pot by removing any stuck-on bits. It’s always important to deglaze the pot before pressure cooking.

Turn off the Pressure Cooker and add the following in layers: frozen ravioli...

Cover and cook on high pressure for 3-4 minutes. 3 Minutes if you prefer a firmer ravioli, 4 if you like it softer.

It’ll take about 15 minutes for your machine to reach pressure and your timer will start. Once your timer is complete, quick release the pressure.

Open the lid and stir in your spinach and cheeses.

And there you have it, a nourishing meal made in the Instant Pot in a jiffy.

Notes on Instant Pot Ravioli

This produces a good bit of liquid, hence why I struggled with whether I should call it a soup or pasta dish. Either way, it’s so darn tasty.
The liquid mixture will not cover the frozen ravioli. It will still cook and still be yummy.
I have not used fresh ravioli with this recipe and cannot give adequate suggestions on substitutions for fresh.
This will thicken up in the refrigerator if left in the refrigerator overnight.
