1 pound ground beef
1 medium onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 (14.5 ounce) cans diced tomatoes, drained
1 (14.5 ounce) can tomato sauce
½ cup heavy cream
3 tablespoons chopped fresh basil, divided
1 ½ cups ricotta cheese
1 tablespoon olive oil
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
1 ½ pounds frozen cheese tortellini, slightly thawed
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon canola oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir ground beef in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove ground beef with a slotted spoon. Drain and discard the grease; wipe the skillet clean with a paper towel.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon canola oil in the same skillet over medium-high heat until just smoking. Reduce heat to medium and add onion. Cook, stirring frequently, until onion is just browning, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook for 30 seconds. Add diced tomatoes and tomato sauce. Cook, stirring occasionally, until sauce begins to thicken, 10 to 12 minutes. Stir in cream and 2 tablespoons basil; cook until thick, about 2 minutes.
  • While the sauce is cooking, combine ricotta cheese, olive oil, remaining basil, salt, and pepper in a bowl.
  • Remove tomato sauce from the heat. Add ground beef and tortellini; stir to combine.
  • Spread 1/2 of the beef-tortellini sauce mixture on the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Layer with the ricotta cheese mixture, the remaining sauce mixture, and the mozzarella cheese. Cover with aluminum foil.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until bubbling, about 30 minutes. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
