1½ cups water

1 package (567g to 709g/20 to 25 ounces) refrigerated or frozen cheese ravioli

1 cup shredded Italian cheese blend

Preparation:

1. Heat oven to 200°C (392°F). Heat large nonstick skillet over medium heat until hot. Add U.S. Ground Beef and garlic; cook 8 to 10 minutes, breaking into 1.9 cm (¾ inch) crumbles and stirring occasionally. Remove from skillet with slotted spoon; pour off drippings and return beef to skillet.

Repeat with remaining ravioli, beef mixture and cheese; cover with aluminum foil. Bake in 200° C (392°F) oven for 15 minutes (20 minutes if using frozen ravioli). Uncover; continue baking 15 to 20 minutes or until sauce is bubbly and pasta is tender.
