By Coldsnap46

How smart...using ravioli as the base for this lasagna saves a lot of time, but doesn't sacrifice a bit of flavor.  It's easy and delicious!

Ingredients

• Vegetable Cooking Spray
• 3 cups Prego Italian Sausage & Garlic Italian Sauce
• 1/2 cup water
• 1 package (30 ounces) frozen regular size cheese-filled ravioli (about 30 to 34)
• 6 ounces shredded mozzarella cheese (about 1-1/2 cups)
• Grated Parmesan cheese and chopped fresh parsley for garnish

Preparation

Step 1

1

Heat the oven to 375°F.  Spray a 3-quart shallow baking dish with the cooking spray.

2

Stir the sauce and water in a large bowl.  Spread 1 cup sauce mixture in the baking dish.  Top with half the ravioli, 3/4 cup mozzarella cheese and 1 cup sauce mixture.  Top with the remaining ravioli and sauce mixture.  Cover the baking dish.

3

Bake for 35 minutes or until the mixture is hot and bubbling. Uncover the baking dish. Sprinkle with the remaining mozzarella cheese.

4

Bake for 10 minutes or until the cheese is melted.  Let stand for 10 minutes.  Sprinkle with the Parmesan cheese and parsley.


Serving Suggestion: Serve with an iceberg lettuce salad with toasted pine nuts, fresh basil and Italian salad dressing.
