Step-by-Step Instructions
To start off, I love cooking the ground beef first. So, in a skillet over medium heat, I add a drizzle of olive oil, followed by the minced garlic. The aroma of garlic sizzling is truly heavenly. I then add in my ground beef and sprinkle it with Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper, cooking until browned. Once browned, I take it off the heat and mix in the ricotta, mozzarella, Parmesan, and parsley, ensuring every bit is combined into a cheesy dream. (See the next page below to continue steps…)
