Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 large Yellow onion
• 4 cloves Garlic
• 1 medium Carrot
• 1 Celery stalk
• 1 pound Ground beef
• 8 ounces Cremini mushrooms
• 28 ounces Canned crushed tomatoes
• 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
• 1 cup Red wine
• 2 sprigs Fresh rosemary
• 2 sprigs Fresh thyme
• 1 Bay leaf
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 18 ounces Fresh cheese ravioli
• 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Heat the olive oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat.

Step 2

Dice the onion, mince the garlic, and finely chop the carrot and celery.

Step 3

Add the onion, carrot, and celery to the pot, and sauté for 5-7 minutes, until softened.

Step 4

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute, until fragrant.

Step 5

Add the ground beef to the pot, breaking it up with a spoon, and cook until browned, about 8 minutes.

Step 6

Meanwhile, clean and finely chop the mushrooms, then add them to the pot and cook for 5 minutes, until they release their moisture.

Step 7

Stir in the tomato paste and cook for 1-2 minutes to deepen its flavor.

Step 8

Pour in the red wine, and scrape the bottom of the pot to deglaze. Let it simmer until reduced by half, about 5 minutes.

Step 9

Add the crushed tomatoes, rosemary, thyme, bay leaf, salt, and black pepper to the pot. Stir well to combine.

Step 10

Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let the ragu simmer for 60 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 11

While the ragu is simmering, cook the cheese ravioli according to the package instructions. Drain well and set aside.

Step 12

After the ragu has simmered, remove the rosemary, thyme sprigs, and bay leaf. Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper to taste.

Step 13

Serve the ragu over the fresh cheese ravioli, and garnish with grated Parmesan cheese and chopped fresh parsley.
