You'll find everyone's favorite Italian flavors in this quick and easy to make stovetop skillet meal.
Equipment
- large skillet with lid
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ tsp pepper
- 24 oz jar Marinara sauce
- 12 oz water
- 25 oz frozen or refrigerated cheese ravioli
- ½ cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1½ cups Mozzarella cheese, shredded
- chopped basil, for garnish
Instructions
- Cook ground beef and chopped onion in a large skillet over medium heat, breaking up the ground beef into small crumbles as it cooks.
- When beef is cooked through drain off any excess grease.
- Add minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
- Add marinara sauce to the skillet.
- Fill glass marinara jar half full with water (about 12 oz) and add it to the skillet, stir to combine.
- Stir in Italian seasoning, salt and pepper and bring sauce to a simmer.
- Once sauce simmers, add cheese ravioli to the skillet. Use a spatula or wooden spoon to move them around making sure they are covered with sauce.
- Place a lid on the skillet and simmer ravioli for 15-20 minutes or until pasta is cooked al dente.
- NOTE: Check pasta package directions to get an idea for how long to simmer the ravioli. Refrigerated pasta will take less time to cook than frozen pasta.
- Occasionally stir sauce gently to prevent pasta from sticking or burning on the bottom of the pan.
- Once pasta is cooked, top with grated Parmesan cheese and a generous layer of grated Mozzarella cheese.
- Place lid back on the skillet and lower heat to lowest setting. Cook until cheese is melted, about 4-5 minutes.
- If desired, top with chopped basil to serve.
