Notes
- Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container. They will last about 3-4 days in the fridge or in the freezer for up to 3 months. When ready to eat, just thaw in the fridge before reheating on the stovetop or in the microwave.
- Substitutes: For best results, follow the recipe as is. However here are some common substitutes that would work well in this recipe.
- Instead of ground beef, you can use ground turkey or ground chicken.
- To make it vegetarian, substitute the ground beef for chopped mushrooms, eggplant or zucchini.
- If you don't have fresh tomatoes, you can use canned tomatoes. I recommend skipping the tomato paste then, and instead using one 28 ounce can of crushed or diced tomatoes in the place of the tomatoes and tomato paste.
- If you don't have fresh basil, you can substitute other fresh herbs like oregano, parsley or thyme. Or you can use 1 teaspoon of dried herbs.
- To make it gluten-free, you can use gluten-free ravioli or any other gluten-free pasta of your choice.
