Step 1: Cook the Sausage - In a large sauté pan, add olive oil and sausage. Use a meat chopper to break the sausage into small pieces. Cook on medium heat, stirring frequently, until the sausage is browned. Meanwhile, begin boiling water for your pasta according to the package directions.

Step 2: Prepare Garlic and Drain Fat - Once the sausage is nearly cooked through, drain any excess fat from the pan. Add garlic to the pan, stirring to combine. Let it simmer for a couple of minutes to cook the garlic and finish cooking the sausage. Afterwards, reduce the heat to low.

Step 3: Create the Cream Sauce - Pour light cream, maple syrup, thyme, and pepper into the pan with the sausage. Simmer on low heat, stirring frequently. Allow the cream sauce to thicken and reduce by about ¼.

Step 4: Finish the Sauce with Cheese - When the cream sauce has thickened sufficiently, turn off the heat and add the cheese. Stir until the cheese is fully incorporated. Season with salt and pepper to taste, then cover the pan to keep the sauce warm.

Step 5: Cook the Ravioli and Combine - Cook the ravioli according to the package directions. Once done, drain the pasta and add it to the cream sauce in the pan. Stir gently to coat the ravioli evenly with the sauce.

Step 6: Serve and Enjoy - Serve the creamy sausage ravioli immediately for best flavor. Enjoy your delicious dish while it’s hot!
