Ingredients

20 ounces refrigerated cheese ravioli
3 1/2 cups marinara sauce (homemade or your favorite store-bought pasta sauce)
2 cups small-curd 4% cottage cheese (or use ricotta if you prefer)
4 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
minced fresh parsley , for garnish
garlic bread , for serving, optional

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Coat a 9x13 baking dish with nonstick cooking spray; set aside.
Cook ravioli according to package directions; drain.
Spread 1 cup of the pasta sauce on the bottom of the baking dish. Layer with half of the cooked ravioli, 1 1/4 cups sauce, 1 cup of cottage cheese, and 2 cups mozzarella. Repeat layers and then sprinkle with the Parmesan.
Bake, uncovered, 30-40 minutes or until bubbly.
Let stand 5-10 minutes before serving.
Sprinkle with a little fresh chopped parsley and enjoy with some garlic bread or crusty sourdough.

Notes

Use other ravioli flavors, if desired. You can usually find ravioli stuffed with spinach, mushrooms, or even meat.

Add meat into the sauce. Stir in (cooked) ground beef or sausage into the sauce. Or use our amazing spaghetti sauce recipe.

Make it an alfredo casserole. If desired, you can swap the pasta sauce for alfredo sauce for an extra creamy casserole.

Cut the recipe in half. If you're only feeding one or two people, you can cut the ingredients in half and bake them in a 8x8 pan.
