Ingredients

  • 16 oz. ground beef lean 85%
  • 1 Tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 red onion, medium size about 3 cups
  • 2 Tablespoons garlic finely chopped (about 3 medium garlic cloves)
  • 28 oz. can crushed tomatoes
  • 1 cup chicken stock
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to broil with rack 9-inches from heat.
  • Place a 12-inch cast-iron skillet on the stovetop over medium-high heat. Add beef; cook, stirring often, until browned, 8 to 10 minutes.

  • Cover and simmer until ravioli are tender, abut 8 minutes.
    Uncover and return cooked beef to skillet.
  • Stir in half of spinach, and cook just until wilted. Repeat with remaining spinach.
    Top with mozzarella and Parmesan cheese.

    Remove from oven, and garnish with fresh basil.
  • Serve hot with some garlic bread and a tossed salad.
