Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground beef or ground pork or Italian sausage
  • olive oil
  • small white onion, diced
  • 4 tsp minced garlic
  • 28 oz can crushed or diced tomatoes
  • 1 8 oz can tomato sauce
  • 1 1/2 cups chicken broth
  • 18 oz refrigerated ravioli
  • 8 oz or 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
  • fresh, chopped parsley, for garnish

Instructions

  • Add a little olive oil to a large cast iron skillet. Let it heat over medium heat, then add in the meat, onions, and garlic. Break the meat up with a sturdy spoon as it cooks, stirring occasionally, until the meat's cooked through.  Strain the meat mixture to remove any excess grease, and return it to the skillet.
  • Add the tomatoes, tomato sauce, broth, and ravioli to the skillet. Stir everything to evenly combine, and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat so that the skillet's simmering. Simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the pasta's cooked & the sauce has thickened considerably. 
  • Remove the skillet from heat, and stir in both of the cheeses. Let the skillet rest for 2-3 minutes before scooping and serving. Top with a sprinkle of freshly chopped parsley & a bit of extra Parmensan (if desired) for a garnish when plated.
