Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large pot, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat until shimmering. Add 1 medium chopped onion and sauté for about 5 minutes until softened and translucent. Stir in 2 minced garlic cloves, cooking for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
  2. Add 1 pound of ground beef to the pot, breaking it up. Cook until fully browned, about 5-7 minutes. Ensure no pink remains, draining excess fat if necessary.
  3. Stir in 15 ounces of crushed tomatoes, 8 ounces of tomato sauce, and 1 cup of beef broth. Sprinkle in 1 teaspoon each of dried basil and oregano, along with salt and pepper to taste. Allow to simmer for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  4. Gently fold in a 20-ounce package of refrigerated cheese ravioli. Cover and cook for 7-9 minutes, stirring occasionally until tender and heated through.
  5. Reduce the heat to low and stir in ½ cup of heavy cream and ¼ cup of grated Parmesan cheese. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until creamy.
  6. Remove from heat and garnish with fresh basil or parsley. Serve hot.
