Ingredients
  

  • 2 tsp olive oil
  • 1 pound ground beef or Italian sausage, casings removed if sausage
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 18 to 20 ounces fresh or frozen ravioli
  • 3 cups marinara sauce, jarred or homemade
  • 1 cup whole milk ricotta cheese
  • 1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese, optional
  • Chopped fresh basil or parsley, optional garnish

Recommended Equipment

Instructions

  • Heat 2 teaspoons of olive oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef or sausage and cook undisturbed for 4 to 5 minutes. Break the meat up and continue cooking, stirring, for 3 to 5 minutes or until no longer pink. Season with salt and pepper, then drain excess fat if needed.

  • Stir the marinara sauce into the beef mixture and bring to a simmer.
  • Nestle the ravioli into the sauce in a single layer if possible (a little overlap is fine). Reduce the heat to low. Cover and simmer for about 6 to 8 minutes, or until the ravioli is tender. You might need an extra 2 to 3 minutes if using frozen ravioli.

  • Dollop spoonfuls of ricotta over the top and sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper. Sprinkle the mozzarella evenly over the ricotta. Cover again and let it cook for 2 to 3 more minutes, until the cheese is warmed and melty. If desired, broil for a minute or two to brown the topping.
