For an extra layer of flavor, sauté a diced onion and a few cloves of minced garlic in the skillet before adding the ground beef.
Feel free to substitute the ground beef with ground turkey, Italian sausage, or a plant-based meat alternative.
Add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the sauce mixture for a touch of heat.
For a richer flavor, use a blend of cheeses, such as mozzarella, provolone, and Parmesan.
To prevent the pasta from sticking together, toss it with a little olive oil after draining.
This dish can be assembled ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours before baking. Just add an extra 10-15 minutes to the baking time.

    Freezes really well. Great to have on hand for quick meals.

  • Estell Haley

    I used ground turkey instead of beef, and it was still delicious! I also added some mushrooms to the sauce for extra flavor.

  • Armand Kiehn

    So much easier than making individual ravioli. This will definitely be a regular in my rotation.
