1

In a large skillet or wok, pour the olive oil, add the butter, garlic and carrots. Let it simmer until the carrot softens a bit, then add the grape tomatoes.

2

In a separate pan, saute the spinach in about a tablespoon of olive oil until it's wilted. Set it aside

And in another pan, saute about a cup of loose sausage until browned. Set it aside.

3

Heat a large pot of salted water to boiling -- add the ravioli two to five minutes before serving.

4

While the ravioli is cooking, add the whipping cream to the tomato mixture, let it gently boil for a couple minutes, then reduce heat and add the spinach and sausage.

5

When the pasta is ready, toss it in with the tomato, spinach, sausage, cream mixture so it's coated thoroughly. Then serve it with grated parmesan or pecorino.
