Ingredients:

A medium-sized onion, coarsely diced; two cloves of minced garlic; one tablespoon of olive oil

– Ground beef, 1 lb.

1/4 teaspoon of Italian spice; salt and pepper to taste

• One 24-oz jar of marinara sauce

– One package of frozen cheese ravioli (25 ounces) – One container of whole milk ricotta cheese (15 ounces) – One big egg – Two teaspoons of freshly chopped parsley (plus extra for decoration) – One large egg

Two cups of cheese, one of grated Parmesan and three cups of shredded mozzarella

PREPARATION:

1. In a skillet set over medium heat, warm the olive oil. Saute the garlic and onion until they soften. Brown the ground beef in a skillet with some salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Remove any surplus of fat before combining with the marinara sauce. Take out of the heat.
2. In an other bowl, thoroughly combine the ricotta cheese, egg, parsley, and a dash of salt and pepper.
3. In the base of the slow cooker, spread a thin layer of the meat and sauce mixture.
4. Arrange 3/4 of the frozen ravioli on top of the sauce, then 1/2 of the ricotta mixture, 1/2 of the mozzarella, and last, a dusting of Parmesan.

Fifth, stack the layers again, finishing with a liberal amount of Parmesan and mozzarella.

Step 6: Simmer, covered, for four to six hours, or until ravioli is soft and cheese is bubbling.

7. Just before serving, garnish with extra chopped parsley.

Substituting ground turkey for the beef in this recipe makes it lighter.

Incorporate a teaspoon of red chili flakes into the beef mixture for a pleasant heat, and feel free to top with spinach or mushrooms for an additional serving of vegetables.
