Ravioli:

- Reserve the remaining stuffing mixture for the sauce
- Rub some water on the outside edges of the filled squares
- Cover each filled square with another one and fold over the edges to seal
- Use a fork to crimp down the edges and let sit to dry off a bit
- Bring a medium pot of water to a boil
- Cook the ravioli, 6 at a time, for about 3-4 minutes, flipping half way through
Sauce:
- In a medium saucepan, saute onions at low heat until golden brown
- Add garlic and continue sauteing for another minute
- Add sliced mushrooms and saute another minute
- Add tomatoes and any tomato juice reclaimed from dicing
- Cook for 10-12 minutes or until the tomatoes start to get soft
- Mash some of the tomatoes with a fork
- Add tomato sauce and stir in
- Add all the herbs and spices listed above and stir
- Add remaining sausage, cheese, and mushroom mixture and stir to let the cheese melt into the sauce
- Continue cooking at medium-low heat for about 15-20 minutes, or until sauce reaches desired thickness
- Serve the sauce over the ravioli and enjoy
