The name of this recipe is very misleading. There are no ravioli in this recipe at all. :) Brian says it should be called spaghetti with meat sauce. Basically, that's exactly what this is.
I liked this, but would probably only give this 3 1/2 stars. Brian however had seconds and is saving the leftovers for lunches (great sign!). I really give this lower stars because I can make spaghetti w/meatsauce in a pan and not take as long to cook. It is good though.
1 1/2 lbs. lean ground beef (I used 1 lb ground turkey)
1 onion, chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
1 (15 oz.) can tomato sauce
1 can stewed tomatoes (I substituted 1/2 jar spaghetti sauce)
1 tsp. oregano
1 tsp. Italian seasoning
salt/pepper
10 oz. frozen spinach, thawed (I omitted)
16 oz. bowtie pasta, cooked (I used penne since we had that on hand)
1/2 cup parmesan cheese, shredded
1 1/2 cup mozzarella, shredded
Brown ground beef with onion and garlic. Put in crock-pot and add sauce, tomatoes and seasonings. Cook for 6-7 hours on low. (In my opinion this is too long! I added my meat cooked and frozen and after 5 hours it was starting to stick and burn a little on the edges). Add the last 4 ingredients during the last 30 minutes of cooking and turn crock-pot to high. (I also didn't have to cook this any longer. I just mixed the cooked pasta and cheese into the meat mixture and combined).
