For meat sauce, in a large skillet cook ground meat, carrots, onion, and garlic till meat is brown and onion is tender. Drain fat.

Step 3

Spoon one-third of the meat sauce into a 2 quart square baking dish. Arrange frozen ravioli or tortellini atop the meat sauce. Sprinkle with 1/2 cup of the mozzarella cheese. Top with the remaining meat sauce.

Step 4

Bake, covered, in a 350F oven for 40 to 45 minutes or till pasta is tender. Uncover and sprinkle with remaining mozzarella cheese. Bake about 5 minutes more or till cheese melts.
