Ingredients

• 1/2 lb. ground beef
• 1/4 cup chopped onion
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• salt and pepper, to taste
• 1-3/4 cups prepared pasta sauce, any flavor
• 1/4 cup water
• 1/2 package (9 oz.) cheese or vegetable-filled refrigerated tortellini or ravioli
• 1/4 cup shredded Italian cheese blend
• chopped fresh parsley (optional)

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F. Brown ground beef with onion and garlic in large nonstick skillet over medium heat 8-10 minutes or until beef is no longer pink, breaking up into 3/4-inch crumbles. Pour off drippings; season with salt and pepper, as desired. Stir in pasta sauce and water.

Spray two 2-cup baking dishes with nonstick cooking spray. Arrange refrigerated pasta evenly on bottom of each baking dish. Spoon beef mixture evenly over pasta; sprinkle cheese evenly over beef mixture.

Cover baking dishes with aluminum foil. Bake in 350°F oven 30 minutes. Uncover and bake an additional 5 minutes. Top with parsley, as desired.
