Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 12 oz cheese ravioli (fresh or frozen)
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 1/2 cups marinara sauce
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Brown the Ground Beef: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef, breaking it up with a spoon. Cook until no longer pink and slightly browned, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary.
  2. Sauté Aromatics: Add minced garlic and diced onions to the cooked beef. Stir and cook for 2-3 minutes until softened and fragrant, taking care not to burn the garlic.
  3. Add Sauce and Seasoning: Pour in the marinara sauce and sprinkle Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper over the mixture. Stir to combine and let it simmer gently for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
  4. Cook the Ravioli: Add the fresh or frozen ravioli directly into the skillet. Gently stir to coat the pasta evenly with the sauce. Cover and cook according to the ravioli package instructions, usually 5-7 minutes, until the ravioli are tender.
  5. Add Cheese and Melt: Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the skillet. Cover and let the cheese melt for 2-3 minutes until bubbly and golden. Serve hot.

Notes

  • Use fresh ravioli for faster cooking and softer texture.
  • Do not overcrowd the skillet; cook in batches if needed to ensure even ravioli cooking.
  • Drain excess fat from the beef to avoid a greasy dish.
  • Cover the skillet while melting cheese to trap steam and prevent drying.
  • Garnish with fresh basil or parsley for added brightness and color.
