Ingredients:
Instructions:
1. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add a drizzle of olive oil. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, sauté until fragrant and translucent, about 2-3 minutes.

2. Add the ground beef to the skillet and break it up with a spatula. Cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.

3. Stir in the lentils, oregano, basil, salt, and pepper. Cook for another 2 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

4. Pour in the tomato sauce and bring the mixture to a simmer. Let it cook for about 10 minutes until the lentils are tender.

5. Add the chopped spinach and frozen peas to the skillet. Stir well to combine and let it cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the spinach wilts and the peas are heated through.

6. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Remove the skillet from heat.

7. Serve the ragout in bowls and top each portion with a generous sprinkle of grated cheese.
Special Tips or Variations:
- Feel free to add other vegetables like diced carrots or bell peppers for extra flavor and nutrition.
- You can substitute ground turkey or chicken for the beef if desired.
- Serve the ragout over cooked pasta or with crusty bread on the side for a complete meal.
