Ingredients:

2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil

2 Tbsp dried basil

2 Tbsp dried oregano

2 Tbsp dried garlic

Coarse salt, to taste

Freshly ground pepper, to taste

1 lb store-bought frozen ravioli, defrosted in refrigerator (I used cheese)

2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

3/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions: 

Heat olive oil in large skillet or pot over medium-high heat. Add sausage and ground beef, breaking up with a wooden spoon, until meat starts to brown. Add garlic and onion, stirring occasionally, until meat is cooked through. Stir in tomatoes, tomato sauce and tomato paste. Bring to a simmer.

Stir in basil, oregano, garlic powder, salt, pepper and red wine or beef stock. Cover and simmer for 1 hour.

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In bottom on 9x13-inch pan, pour 2 cups of sauce. Cover with layer of ravioli. Pour remaining sauce on top. Sprinkle with cheeses.
