    03 Method
    • Step 1
      Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
    • Step 2
      When the skillet is hot add in the ground beef and crumble. Add in all of the spices and season with kosher salt and black pepper. When the beef is cooked all the way through, remove it from the skillet onto a plate lined with paper towels.
    • Step 3
      Remove the fat/grease from the skillet and wipe it clean with a paper towel. Turn the heat down to medium and add in the marinara sauce and baby spinach. Cook the sauce until the spinach wilts then add the cooked ground beef back in.
    • Step 4
      Stir everything together until it's combined and warmed through.
    • Step 5
      Preheat oven to broil. Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray and lay the slices of bread on it. Brush the tops of the bread with a little olive oil or spray them with cooking spray. Place the baking sheet in the oven and broil until golden brown.
    • Step 6
      Remove the bread from the oven and rub the top with the half clove of garlic. Sprinkle the parmesan cheese evenly over the tops of the bread. Spoon some of the meat sauce onto the tops of each piece of bread and top with the ricotta and mozzarella cheese.
    • Step 7
      Place back in the oven and broil until the mozzarella cheese is melted. Sprinkle with fresh chopped basil, kosher salt, and black pepper if desired and serve immediately.
