Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 pound lean ground beef
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 large onion chopped
• 2 garlic cloves minced
• 2 tablespoons fresh basil or 1 teaspoon dried

Instructions

• In a large saucepan, heat the olive oil and add the ground beef with salt and pepper to taste. Cook until browned, breaking it up as it cooks with a wooden spoon for 4-5 minutes
• Add the chopped onions and garlic, and cook for 2-3 minutes until the onions soften and become fragrant.
• Add the fresh basil, tomato paste, chopped tomatoes and water and mix to combine. Bring to a boil. Then. reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Add the ravioli and cook for 5-8 minutes, until the past is tender. Add more water if the pasta absorbs too much of the liquid.
• Serve with grated Parmesan cheese and fresh basil, if desired.

Notes

Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container. They will last about 3-4 days in the fridge or in the freezer for up to 3 months. When ready to eat, just thaw in the fridge before reheating on the stovetop or in the microwave.

Substitutes: For best results, follow the recipe as is. However here are some common substitutes that would work well in this recipe.

• Instead of ground beef, you can use ground turkey or ground chicken.
• To make it vegetarian, substitute the ground beef for chopped mushrooms, eggplant or zucchini.
• If you don't have fresh tomatoes, you can use canned tomatoes. I recommend skipping the tomato paste then, and instead using one 28 ounce can of crushed or diced tomatoes in the place of the tomatoes and tomato paste.
• If you don't have fresh basil, you can substitute other fresh herbs like oregano, parsley or thyme. Or you can use 1 teaspoon of dried herbs.
• To make it gluten-free, you can use gluten-free ravioli or any other gluten-free pasta of your choice.
