Ravioli Casserole

Ingredients:

1 package meat filled ravioli (frozen or refrigerated)

Olive oil

2 garlic cloves, minced

2 zucchini, sliced and halved

1 yellow squash, sliced and halved

1/2 cup button mushrooms, sliced

1/4 cup kalamata olives, pitted

1 (14.5 oz) can Italian stewed tomatoes, drained

1 (28 oz.) jar spaghetti sauce (or use 3.5 cups of my recipe)

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

2 tbsp parmesan cheese, grated

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350°; grease a 3 quart baking dish.  Meanwhile, in a large saucepan cook the ravioli according to package directions; drain.  In the same pan, add a small amount of olive oil; add garlic, zucchini, squash, mushrooms, olives, tomatoes, and spaghetti sauce.  Cook the vegetable mixture until heated through; add ravioli.  Pour mixture into greased baking dish, and cover with mozzarella and parmesan cheeses.  Bake in the oven for 20 – 30 minutes or until cheese is bubbly and lightly browned. 

Use whatever type of ravioli that you prefer.  This would be great with beef, pork, chicken, seafood, or even cheese raviolis.  You can even switch up the sauce by using a marinara, vegetable, or Alfredo sauce if you prefer.  Be creative and choose a flavor that your family will like best!
