# Preparation Steps:

Warm up oil in a big skillet on medium-high. Toss in your beef and cook till it's brown all over, then pour off the fat. Drop in the garlic and let it cook about half a minute till it smells good. Toss in the Italian herbs with a bit of salt, then mix in 2 cups marinara till everything's blended together nicely.

Get your oven going at 350°F. Grab a 9x13 dish and spray it so nothing sticks. In a big bowl, mix the cream cheese, sour cream, and ricotta till they're all smooth. Add the frozen ravioli and gently turn them over till they're all coated in the dairy mix.

Put your cheese-covered ravioli in the dish in an even layer. Pour your meat sauce on top, then scatter mozzarella and parmesan all over. Cover with foil and cook for 30 minutes, then take the foil off and cook another 10 minutes till the cheese gets all melty and bubbly!
