Preparation
In a saucepan, heat oil at medium high. Add onion, celery, veal, oregano, thyme and season to taste. Cook, stirring to break up the meat, until the meat is no longer pink. Add crushed tomatoes and tomato sauce. Cover and cook over medium low heat for 30 minutes.
Preheat oven to 350 ºF (180 ºC). In a bowl, mix Ricotta, egg, spinach, half the Mozzarella and season to taste.
