Ravioli with Creamy meat Sauce

Have you ever gone to your cupboard/pantry/freezer...pulled out a bunch of ingredients and started cooking with no plan in mind? Well..that's what happened to me yesterday and the following recipe was the result. It turned out pretty good. No..let me rephrase...it turned out STINKIN' good! We all loved it! A close second to Mexican food around here, Italian ranks right up there for us. I'll be making this again, no doubt!

Ravioli with Creamy Meat Sauce



2 14-ounce cans tomatoes with basil, oregano and garlic
1 14-ounce can petite diced tomatoes
1 onion, diced
1 pound lean ground beef – cooked and drained
1 cup cream
Salt
Pepper
1 25-ounce bag frozen ravioli – cooked according to package directions and drained (2 bags would be better....but I only had one)

Dice the onion and cook with a little olive oil for a few minutes. Add ground beef and cook until no longer pink. Stir in tomatoes and let simmer for about 10 minutes. Add salt and pepper to taste. Stir in the cream and allow to heat through. Spoon sauce over cooked ravioli.

Serve with crusty bread

Let's get going!

 

Dice the onion and give it a quick 

cook with some olive oil.

 

Then add the ground beef 

and let that cook for a bit.

 

Add the tomatoes. If you'd rather use 

a can or two of crushed tomatoes instead, 

that would be fine. In fact, I used my food 

processor to finely chop the two cans of seasoned tomatoes.

 

Cook the meat/tomato mixture for a little while.

 

Then add the cream.

 

Cook your ravioli. I only had one 

25-ounce bag, but two would be better 

for the amount of sauce. And this stuff 

cooks quick once your water starts to boil! 

And no, I'm not too proud to use FROZEN 

ravioli! This IS supposed to be "simple fare." ;-)

 

Yum! Serve this over the ravioli for a quick dinner!
