  2. Stir in garlic, Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes for 30 seconds. Add tomato paste and cook for 1 minute.
  3. Add crushed tomatoes, marinara, chicken broth, salt, and black pepper. Scrape the pot and bring to a gentle boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 8 to 10 minutes.
  4. Add ravioli and cook according to package timing, usually 4 to 6 minutes, stirring gently until tender.
  5. Fold in spinach and cook for 1 to 2 minutes until wilted. Add extra broth if the soup is thicker than desired.
  6. Mix ricotta with half the Parmesan and half the herbs. Ladle soup into bowls and top with ricotta mixture, mozzarella, remaining Parmesan, and herbs.

Notes

  • Use refrigerated mini ravioli for quick, spoon-friendly pieces.
  • Cook ravioli only until tender; they continue to soften in the hot broth.
  • For freezing, freeze the tomato-sausage base and add fresh ravioli after reheating.
