Ingredients
– 1 pound Italian sausage
– 1 jar (28 ounces) spaghetti sauce
– 1 cup cottage cheese
– 8 ounces softened cream cheese
– ΒΌ cup sour cream
– 2 tablespoons parsley
– Β½ teaspoon garlic powder
– β cup grated Parmesan cheese
– 1 package (25 ounces) frozen cheese ravioli
– 2 cups mozzarella cheese
Instructions
1- Brown the 1 pound of Italian sausage in a skillet until itβs fully cooked, then mix it with the 1 jar (28 ounces) of spaghetti sauce for a hearty meat sauce.
2- In a separate large bowl, combine 1 cup of cottage cheese, 8 ounces of softened cream cheese, ΒΌ cup of sour cream, β cup of grated Parmesan cheese, 2 tablespoons of parsley, and Β½ teaspoon of garlic powder to create a creamy mixture. Toss the 1 package (25 ounces) of frozen cheese ravioli directly into this cheese blend without thawing it first.
3- Next, spread the ravioli and cheese mixture evenly in your prepared baking pan. Top it with the sausage and spaghetti sauce mixture, then finish by sprinkling 2 cups of mozzarella cheese over the top for that gooey, golden finish. Bake the casserole uncovered for 45 minutes, and let it cool for 10-15 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to settle.
4- Begin by preheating your oven to 350ΒΊF and spraying a 9Γ13-inch baking pan with cooking spray to prevent sticking. This preparation method ensures even cooking and a delicious result every time.
