Ravioli Lasagna

Prep time: 10 minutes
Bake time: 35-45 minutes
Serves: 8
  • 1 jar of Ragu or other pasta sauce
  • 1 16 oz. container of cottage cheese
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 bag of frozen ravioli - cheese stuffed or whatever you like
  • 2 cups of shredded mozzarella cheese
  • seasonings to taste (I use 1/2 tesp. each of dried basil, oregano, and garlic)
Spread a few spoonfuls of tomato sauce into bottom of lasagna pan. Place layer of frozen ravioli on bottom, pushing them together tightly to form a solid layer. Mix together the cottage cheese, eggs, and seasonings. Then spread half the mixture on top of the pasta. Add a layer of tomato sauce (half the jar). Repeat layers. After second layer of tomato sauce add shredded cheese. This should fill up the pan about how a lasagna would.

Bake covered for 35-40 minutes at 350. Then remove foil and bake 5-10 minutes longer until cheese is melted. Let it set up for 10 minutes before serving.

This recipe was made for a friend at church after she had a baby. She passed it along because she liked it so much. And now I'm passing it along too because we love it! We've had it 3 times in the past 2 weeks! This is a great, easy, family friendly dish that even picky eaters enjoy.
