Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground beef, turkey, or Italian Sausage
  • 2 teaspoons Italian Seasoning Divided into 2 portions; Adjust to taste.
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • ½ cup diced onions
  • ½ cup diced green bell peppers
  • 3-4 garlic cloves Minced
  • 24 oz marinara sauce
  • 1-2 tablespoons sugar or sweetener Optional
  • 10-15 oz ravioli Refrigerated or frozen. Thaw first if using frozen.
  • 1 ½ cups grated mozzarella cheese

Instructions

  • Heat a skillet at medium heat on the stove. I use a 12 inch pan. Add the ground beef. Break down the beef into smaller pieces. Cook for 3-4 minutes until it's no longer pink.
    1 pound ground beef, turkey, or Italian Sausage
  • Drain any excess fat from the beef. Add the onions, green peppers garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper to taste. Stir and cook for 2-3 minutes.
    2 teaspoons Italian Seasoning, salt and pepper to taste, ½ cup diced onions, ½ cup diced green bell peppers, 3-4 garlic cloves
  • Pour in the marinara sauce, additional Italian Seasoning, salt, and pepper to taste. Taste the sauce repeatedly and adjust the spices if necessary. I like to add 1 tablespoon of sweetener here (optional). Stir to combine.
    24 oz marinara sauce, 1-2 tablespoons sugar or sweetener, 2 teaspoons Italian Seasoning
  • Fold in the ravioli. Adjust the heat on the stove to Low and place the lid on the skillet.
    10-15 oz ravioli
  • Simmer for 10 minutes or until the ravioli is cooked through. Refer to the package instructions for cook time guidance. My ravioli states it needs to reach an internal temperature of 160 degrees. Open the pot every 3-4 minutes and stir to ensure the bottom of the pot does not scorch.
  • Turn the heat off the pot. Remove the lid from the pot and add the grated mozzarella. Replace the lid for 3-5 minutes until the cheese melts.

  • Serve and enjoy warm.

Notes

If you want to save calories on this recipe, use ground turkey and/or use 10 oz of ravioli vs 15 oz.
If your sauce is too thick, add water or broth to thin it out.
Mozzarella is classic, but feel free to mix in parmesan, ricotta, provolone, or even an Italian blend.
Use any type of ravioli you like. I prefer a cheese blend.
