• Meanwhile, melt the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the garlic and onions. Cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Add the broccoli and asparagus and cook, stirring, 1 minute. Season with salt and pepper. Splash in the broth, then cook until the liquid reduces a bit, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir the cream into the skillet and reduce the heat to a simmer. Stir in the ham, Parmesan and pesto and cook for a couple of minutes to allow the sauce to thicken.

• Crumble the ground beef into a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir until no longer pink. Drain grease, then stir in the spaghetti sauce and tomatoes.
• Spread 1/3 of the sauce in the bottom of an 11x7 inch baking dish. Arrange 1/2 of the ravioli over the sauce. Sprinkle 1/2 of the mozzarella cheese and 1/2 of the Monterey Jack cheese over the ravioli. Repeat layers, ending with the last of the sauce on top. Cover with aluminum foil.
• Bake for 30 minutes in the preheated oven. Sprinkle Parmesan cheese over the top before serving.

Steps:

• Add the tomatoes to a food processor and pulse until smooth.
• Add the olive oil to a large pan over medium heat. Once the oil begins to shimmer, add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, but not browned, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook, stirring constantly, until aromatic, about 30 seconds.
• Add the puréed tomatoes, sugar, and salt and stir to combine. Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the sauce is thickened, about 15 minutes. Stir in the basil.
