Lauren saw this recipe in Andrew's High Five magazine and wanted to make it. I got the ravioli on a BOGO sale, but it's still not very frugal or very healthy. It was quite tasty, though, and all the kids ate it and even helped make it. Since lasagna is on my Don't Make list, this was a good substitute.
Pretend Lasagna
jar of pasta sauce (I didn't use the whole jar)
10-ounce package of ravioli (I think I used a 24 oz package and would recommend that size)
shredded mozzarella cheese (called for one cup, but we used more)
optional vegetable layer (we used spinach; you could also use diced red pepper, olive, mushrooms, etc)
parsley flakes
Spoon a thin layer of pasta sauce in the bottom of a baking dish. Place a layer of ravioli on top of the sauce. Add a thin layer of cheese, and then a layer of vegetables, if desired. Repeat layers until you use up all the ravioli, then add a final layer of cheese. Sprinkle parsley flakes on top.
Cover dish with foil and bake at 350 for 30-35 minutes. Remove foil and bake another 5 minutes until the cheese is lightly browned. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving.
