Instant Pot Sausage Pepperoni Spinach Ravioli
My kids love stuff like this. Lucky for me, it is super easy to make. And now with the Instant Pot it’s even easier. You brown the sausage in the pot, add in broth, raviolis and sauce and pressure cook for just 1 minute. If I’m not home it switches over to warm and will stay good until we’re ready to eat dinner. Add the ingredients for instant pot sausage pepperoni spinach ravioli to your shopping list this week!
A few notes about the recipe:
Italian sausage: I used a ground mild Italian sausage but if you like it spicy you could opt for hot sausage.
Beef broth: I didn’t have any beef broth at my house so I used 1 cup of water and 1 tsp of Better than Bouillon* Beef Broth.
Ravioli: I used a package of frozen ravioli but you could also use a package of fresh ravioli.
Sauce: I used a can of marinara spaghetti sauce. You could get fancy and use a jar of sun dried tomato alfredo or tomato basil sauce or anything that catches your eye in the pasta aisle.
Pepperonis: I used half a package of pepperonis and cut them into quarters. You could also buy a package of the mini pepperonis.
Spinach: I ran out of fresh spinach so I just used a bit of frozen spinach. I just stirred it in and it worked great.

What Pressure Cooker Did You Use?
For Instant Pot Sausage Pepperoni Spinach Ravioli I used my 6 quart Instant Pot Duo 60 7 in 1*. I also own the 6 quart Instant Pot IP-LUX60 V3 Programmable Electric Pressure Cooker.* They are both great pressure cookers! But I recommend the Duo. It has a yogurt making function but other than that they are fairly similar. The price difference between the two is about $20.

Instant Pot Sausage Pepperoni Spinach Ravioli
- Prep Time: 15 minutes
- Cook Time: 1 minute (plus time to come to pressure)
- Total Time: 16 minutes
- Yield: 6 servings 1x
Description
Ravioli is cooked in a marinara sauce with Italian sausage, pepperoni, mozzarella cheese and spinach for a super fast and easy one pot meal.
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground Italian sausage (mild or hot)
- 1 cup beef broth (or 1 cup water and 1 teaspoon Better Than Bouillon Beef Base)
- 1 (25 oz) bag frozen ravioli
- 1 (24 oz) can or jar of marinara sauce
- 1/2 cup pepperonis, cut into quarters (or you can use mini pepperonis)
- 1 cup grated mozzarella
- 3 cups fresh or frozen spinach
Instructions
- Turn your Instant Pot to the saute function. When it is heated up add in the sausage. Brown the sausage in the pot. Deglaze the pot with the beef broth.
- Lay the ravioli on top of the sausage and broth. Pour the marinara sauce over the top of the ravioli. Don’t stir. Add in the pepperonis on top of the sauce.
- Cover the pot and secure the lid. Make sure valve is on “sealing.” Press the manual button or pressure cook button and set the timer to 1 minute.
- When the timer beeps indicating the time is up perform a quick release by moving the valve to “venting.” If any foam comes out move the valve back to sealing and wait 20 seconds before trying again.
- Remove the lid when you can. Stir in the mozzarella cheese and the spinach. When spinach cooks down a bit (it will literally take one minute) then serve the ravioli. Enjoy!

I fixed the ravioli recipe in my instant pot. It was very good. Only thing I did different was I used frozen spinach. It was very tasty. Will definitely fix again.
★★★★★
GREAT! And good to know about the frozen spinach. Thank you.
This was delicious. I used reduced sodium beef broth, but did everything else the same. Served it with meatballs on the side. Yummo!
★★★★★
Yum sounds like an awesome dinner to me!
I read this recipe as pepperoncini (the peppers) and added them instead of PEPPERONIS. I am super new at the Instant Pot and did not question this at all. It didn’t ruin anything, taste or consistency – it was a nice tart bite every now and then. I will def stick to pepperoni tonight..when I make this for the 4th time. HAHA. Thanks for the recipe, it’s been great every time!
★★★★★
That is so funny! Glad it was still okay 🙂
Followed the recipe to the T in my Instant Pot, doubled for my family of 6, and it turned out perfectly. Can’t wait to try it again and its definitely on the top of our list for favorites.
★★★★★
This is so nice to hear. Thank you for sharing 🙂
If I use fresh spinach, do I still add at the end or put it before and allow to pressure cook one minute?
I’d add it at the end. It wilts and cooks very quickly in the hot food.
i am trying to cook spinach/kale ravioli from costco. but instead of marinara sauce i just want to coat with a pesto sauce – also from costco. do you know how i can just cook the frozen spinach/kale ravioli in the instant pot without the marinara sauce? how much water should i use? how long should i cook it in the instant pot for?
You might be better off just cooking according to the package directions on the stove top. Then draining the water and stirring in the pesto sauce. It sounds very tasty!
Oh my — so good!! I did make a few changes. I used 1.5lb of frozen meatballs in place of the ground beef and I added a couple sliced zucchini and 10 quartered mushrooms on top of the raviolis before adding the sauce. Oh my, incredible!!
★★★★★
Sounds so great!
Hi,
Instead of sausage could ground beef be used? I am wondering if ground beef is too heavy, even the low fat kind… would it sink to the bottom of the pot and burn?
Being big Italian food eaters this recipe really intrigues me!
Thanks for sharing and teaching.
★★★★★
you could totally do that! I think it would work fine.
I found some vegan frozen Ravioli, and vegan sauce and it was good, this is my first time cooking pasta in an electric pressure cooker.
Nice!
Ravioli comes out perfect every time. We try a different sauce each time we make it. Makes it fun!
★★★★★
Yum! I like that idea 🙂
Excellent … worked perfectly in the IP and tasted great!
★★★★★
Nice!
When you used frozen ravioli, did you still only cook for 1 min?
yes just one minute!
