Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1/2 cup chopped onion
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes
- 4 cups beef broth
- 1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon dried basil

- 1 (15 ounce) container ricotta cheese
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions
