# Instructions:

01 - Warm up oil in a wide pan over medium-high heat. Toss in your beef and cook till brown, then pour off any fat. Throw in garlic and let it smell good for about half a minute. Toss in herbs with a bit of salt, then dump in 2 cups of tomato sauce and mix it all together.

02 - Get your oven hot at 350°F. Grab a 9x13 dish and spray it so food won't stick. In a big bowl, stir cream cheese, sour cream, and ricotta till they're smooth. Add the cold ravioli and toss them around till they're all covered in the dairy mix.

03 - Put your cheese-covered pasta flat in the dish you fixed up. Pour meat mix on top, then scatter mozzarella and parmesan all over. Cover with foil and stick in the oven for 30 minutes, then pull off the foil and cook another 10 minutes till cheese gets bubbly and melty!

# Notes:

01 - This hearty pasta dish mixes soft cheese-filled pockets with thick, creamy sauce and tasty meat topping

02 - Great for big family meals or group dinners - folks will ask for seconds!
