Ingredients
– 1 pound Italian sausage
– 24-26 ounces jarred spaghetti sauce
– 16 ounces cottage cheese, small curd
– 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
– 1/2 cup sour cream
– 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
– 1 teaspoon garlic powder
– 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
– 25 ounces frozen cheese ravioli
– 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
– cooking spray for greasing
Instructions
1- Preheat oven to 350Β°F (175Β°C). Spray a 9Γ13-inch baking pan with cooking spray to keep everything from sticking.
2- Brown the Italian sausage in a skillet over medium heat. Once itβs done, drain the excess fat and stir in the spaghetti sauce, letting it simmer for a bit to blend the flavors.
3- In a large bowl, combine the cottage cheese, softened cream cheese, sour cream, chopped parsley, garlic powder, and grated Parmesan cheese. Mix it all up until itβs smooth and creamy thatβs your cheesy base!
4- Add the frozen cheese ravioli to the cheese mixture and toss gently to coat each piece evenly. This step ensures every bite is packed with flavor.
5- Spread the coated ravioli mixture evenly in the prepared baking pan for an even bake.
6- Pour the meat sauce over the ravioli layer, making sure itβs distributed just right.
7- Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese on top for that gooey, golden finish.
8- Bake uncovered for 45 minutes, or until itβs hot, bubbly, and the cheese is melted and lightly browned. Let it cool for 10-15 minutes before serving to set everything up nicely.
