Method

Prepare the Meat Sauce

  1. 1

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion, minced garlic, diced carrot, and diced celery. Sauté until the vegetables are soft and translucent, about 5-7 minutes.

  2. 2

    Cook the Meat

    Add the ground beef and ground pork to the skillet. Cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula, about 8-10 minutes.

  3. 3

    Add Tomatoes and Seasoning

    Stir in the crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, red wine, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Simmer the sauce on low heat for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Prepare the Marinara Sauce

  1. 4

    Sauté Garlic

    In a separate saucepan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.

  2. 5

    Add Tomatoes

    Add crushed tomatoes, fresh basil, salt, and black pepper. Simmer for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Cook the Ravioli

  1. 6

    Boil Water

    Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.

  2. 7

    Cook Ravioli

    Add the four-cheese ravioli to the boiling water and cook according to package instructions, typically 4-5 minutes, until they float.

Combine and Serve

  1. 8

    Mix the Sauces

    Once the ravioli is cooked, drain and combine it with the meat sauce. Serve topped with marinara sauce.
