RAVIOLI IN MEAT SAUCE

RAVIOLI in MEAT SAUCE

you can make your marinara sauce without meat but we like meat sauce  the best…more filling and more flavor

In a very  large & deep frying add a little oil.. have you about 3 large cloves of garlic minced up, and a little chopped sweet onion… throw into the  hot oil and use wooden spoon to stir around, WATCH do not burn garlic or it will ruin the whole dish

as soon as you smell that garlic in the air, throw in your ground chuck, brown it but don’t stir it to death let it cook in larger chunks we don’t want pebbles we want MEAT,,,,

shake in salt and pepper WELL over meat and parsley flakes. add HUNTS tomato sauce (the big can 16oz I think and the big tomato paste or two little tomato paste & save your cans

fill up  the smaller can twice with water  and the big one once with water adding  to pan. stir well then add in grated parmesan cheese (don’t be stingy) and salt n pepper to taste bring to a boil reduce heat and let simmer for 30-40 min

you should have a thick meaty sauce, I always taste it because I may need to add more of this or that… to achieve the right taste.. you can add a tad bit of sugar to this dish but not too much.. you should not be able to actually TASTE sweet in the dish.. but a hint of it.

Boil your frozen Ravioli  Noodles carefully  in pot until al dente with a drop of oil and salted water. or use freshly made.

drain and while hot shake Grated Parmesan Cheese over top and toss gently  into your sauce, Serve with garlic bread and salad
