sauce some cheeses some delicious
1:21
seasonings give it some Italian flavors
1:24
going
1:25
on it's really quick to put together
1:28
we're going to cut the onion in half
1:30
we're only going to use half the onion
1:31
this is kind of a half of a recipe
1:33
because we're only making it for two
1:35
just going to run the knife through the
1:37
lines of the
1:39
onion now while I'm doing this Thomas is
1:43
going to turn on the burner to a medium
1:45
high heat we're going to add in just a
1:47
little slurry of some cooking oil o I
1:51
get to use the new fangled one yeah we
1:53
got a new oil dispenser it Squirts and
1:58
ah it pours that's cool now if you're
2:01
interested in anything that we use on
2:04
our Channel you can go to Katherine
2:07
plates.com you can go to the store tab
2:11
you can find my cookbooks there and you
2:12
can also find the Amazon store and just
2:15
find the item yeah it's really cool cuz
2:18
it sprays yeah it sprays so you can put
2:21
just as much as you want into your
2:24
baking dish we need to get another one
2:26
for olive oil so we can Spritz it we're
2:29
using avocado oil in this bottle right
2:32
here CU we pretty much use it for
2:35
everything yeah we use olive oil as a
2:38
finishing oil not for cooking
2:42
yeah all right we're going to put the
2:44
onion into our Hot Oil we're going to
2:48
start cooking these down until they get
2:50
nice and soft got it let it on me
2:56
Mama right should take about 3 to 4
2:59
minutes to get the those nice and soft
3:01
all right the onions are getting nice
3:03
and translucent in there Thomas is going
3:05
to add in half a pound of ground
3:10
beef we're going to break that
3:13
up and get it nice and brown up yay I
3:16
get to use the tool okay this is one of
3:19
our favorite tools to use in the kitchen
3:21
that was my meat Chopper I got this
3:24
almost seven years ago my mom gave it to
3:27
me when I first started Catherine's
3:29
place
3:31
and it is held up yeah it's silicone but
3:36
it's really a sty yeah it's very
3:40
sturdy okay now that the ground beef is
3:42
browned up we're going to scoot it off
3:44
to the side we're going to take out any
3:46
excess grease cuz you don't want that in
3:48
your sauce if there's any in there I'm
3:51
just going to push it while you hold the
3:53
pot there you go okay give me the hard
3:57
job yeah there wasn't much in there
3:59
that's good nope that's good and we're
4:02
going to add in one teaspoon of minced
4:05
garlic we're going to give it some
4:07
flavor we don't have very much left from
4:10
the holidays no used a lot probably
4:14
going a little bit
4:15
more there we
4:19
go okay now what we're going to do let's
4:22
get our sauce
4:24
out I'm using ao's
4:28
homemade tomato basil sauce you want 12
4:32
oz yeah only use half cuz the kids want
4:35
the other half yeah this is a 24 oz jar
4:38
we're going to use half of it and then
4:39
we'll give the other half to the kids
4:41
cuz they make a lot of
4:43
spaghetti over at their
4:46
house you know Joseph's a pasta head so
4:49
let's see that looks good right there
4:51
Yes W uhoh now better get that before
4:55
the dog does where'd it go over there
4:57
way my God we have to clean that one
5:02
off yeah I think our son Joseph could
5:05
eat pasta seven days a week he can now
5:09
I'm going to enhance the garlic flavor
5:11
with a little bit of garlic powder about
5:14
an eigh of a spoon I'm going to go right
5:16
across the top like that onion
5:18
[Music]
5:20
powder add some in there and then I'm
5:23
going to put in a big a teaspoon or so
5:25
of some Italian seasoning a little bit
5:28
more there we go H yeah SM good okay to
5:31
the sauce we're going to add 1/3 cup of
5:34
water you want it Saucy cuz it's got to
5:37
create the layers then while he's
5:39
stirring that up we're going to add in
5:41
one tablespoon of
5:44
butter yay butter we're going to add in
5:48
Sugar half a tablespoon he's going to
5:50
mix that up and I'm going to see if
5:51
that's everything that we need in the
5:53
sauce now we have our sauce mozzarella
5:56
cheese shredded we've got two cups here
5:58
and we'll divide that amongst the layers
6:01
and then we have our cheese
6:03
gravioli it's filled with creamy Ricotta
6:06
and Ramana cheese this is 19 Oz package
6:12
these are
6:14
frozen we're going to we got
6:17
you there you go there we
6:21
go all right we're going to take one
6:24
large Serving Spoon size of that meat
6:27
sauce we're going to place it into the
6:29
bottom of baking dish we're using an I
6:31
think this is an 8 by 11 one scoop one
6:37
scoop and then just kind of smeared
6:39
around this will help the raviolis from
6:41
sticking to the bottom of our dish we
6:44
don't want that to happen and we're
6:45
going to take our
6:46
ravioli can y'all see them there they
6:49
are guys we're going to create a layer
6:50
down here oh did dump it in I'm going to
6:53
go you going to get your sleeve all in
6:55
there
6:57
okay there you go
7:00
okay three we'll probably make a layer
7:03
of 12 down
7:05
here and there and there now we're going
7:09
to add a little bit more water to our
7:10
sauce cuz I think it's a little thick
7:12
just a little bit we don't want to
7:14
dilute the the flavor of the
7:17
sauce oh that's much
7:19
[Music]
7:21
good all right now take half of that
7:23
sauce and pour it over the raviolis
7:30
just remember you got to do just half
7:31
because you want the other half for the
7:33
next layer and then we'll get a spoon
7:36
and kind of make sure that it gets on
7:38
top of the
7:39
ravioli well you know what they
7:42
say whoever has the
7:44
spoon get the
7:47
beep we forgot to check to see if we
7:52
needed to add any more flavors to our
7:53
sauce I'm going to give it a try right
7:55
now M that is good
8:01
you don't get no more that is good all
8:04
right we've got two cups of shredded
8:07
mozzarella cheese we're going to put
8:08
half of it on top of that meat sauce
8:17
there all right that looks good there
8:19
we'll save the rest for the top okay
8:21
we're going to create another layer of
8:24
gravioli
8:30
is there Italian in this
8:32
family my grandmother was 100% Italian I
8:36
have some Italian in me she came from
8:38
Sicily didn't she yes that's where she
8:41
came from we looked up I don't think
8:42
there was any it there's no Italian but
8:44
I got everything else we're going to
8:46
take the rest of that meat sauce and
8:48
just kind of make sure that we spoon it
8:50
onto all of the ravioli because they
8:51
need that moisture to kind of puff up
8:53
and get nice and tender let me put you
8:56
over here so y'all can see Thomas's
8:58
technique
9:05
the cheese and the ravioli is definitely
9:07
going to give it a nice little addition
9:09
of flavor
9:10
mhm little pockets of saltiness
9:16
yeah okay we got all the meat sauce into
9:19
our baking dish here we're going to top
9:22
with
9:26
some M that's just testing
9:30
it little Q you know QA there how was it
9:34
it really
9:36
good
9:37
like I'm out quality check
9:41
4.0 you got to check it right for flavor
9:44
that's
9:46
right all
9:48
right so done right now we're going to
9:51
add the rest of that cheese on top of
9:54
the meat sauce here it's going to like
9:55
blend all together
10:01
have to check the
10:02
cheese okay
10:06
go yep that's
10:09
good
10:12
okay he's hungry you look I'm not
10:14
gnawing on a
10:23
ravioli okay we're going to cover our
10:26
ravioli
10:30
this is going to go in a preheated oven
10:32
at
10:34
350° for 25 to 30 minutes covered we're
10:38
going to remove the foil cook another 10
10:42
to 15 minutes until it's nice and golden
10:44
brown cheese is melted and it's bubbly
10:48
he knew it I did we're going to come
10:51
back we're going to give this a try for
10:53
you here is our cheesy ravioli bake with
10:56
our meat sauce doesn't that look
10:59
delicious now it took just a little bit
11:01
longer in the oven probably because of
11:03
the dish we were using but it took
11:05
another 10 minutes with it uncovered
11:08
that time frame all right I think this
11:10
is mine that's Thomas's we're going to
