Method
Step 1
Heat 2 Tbsp. oil in a large heavy bottomed pot over medium-high. Add carrot, onion and 2 cloves garlic and cook until softened and starting to brown.

Add beef and cook, breaking up into smaller pieces until no longer pink, about 4 minutes. Add tomatoes, oregano and ½ cup water. Lower heat to medium-low and season with salt and pepper and cook until slightly reduced and thickened, about 8 minutes. Remove from heat.
Step 3
Mix remaining garlic, spinach, ricotta, 1.5 ounces parmesan and egg in a medium bowl until well combined.
