Pour the sauce into the skillet with the meat as well as the spinach. Carefully fold together until the spinach has wilted. Add salt and pepper to mixture as needed.
Using a large spoon or ladle. scoop out half of the meat mixture into a separate bowl. Drop half of the ricotta into small dollops over the entire skillet, then sprinkle half the mozzarella over the top.

Place the skillet in the oven, uncovered and cook for 20-25 minutes or until the cheese is brown and bubbling. Let it cool for 10 minutes so that it can set before serving. Enjoy!
