Ravioli Lasagna

 A recipe I adapted from the bag of Costco Ravioli.  It lacked flavor and cottage cheese.  You can't have lasagna without cottage cheese.  Cut in half for a regular meal.  This is enough for our sturgeon fishing crew.  

Ravioli Lasagna

28 oz. Ravioli

2 – 3 T. oil

1 - Parmesan and herb packet or dry Bread crumbs and Parmesan mixture

1 lb. Italian Sausage

1 c. chopped onion

60 oz. Spaghetti Sauce

2 t. garlic powder

2 t. onion powder 

2 t. Italian Seasoning

2 t. dried basil

4 c. cottage cheese

4 c. mozzarella cheese

¼ c. Parmesan cheese 

Cook Ravioli by bringing 5 qt. water to a boil.  Add Ravioli and boil gently for 6 to 8 minutes.  Drain.  Toss with oil and herb packet and set aside.  

Brown sausage and onion.  Add spaghetti sauce, and seasonings.  Simmer. Cover the bottom of 12 inch dutch oven with a thin layer of sauce.  

Layer ½ of the ravioli, more sauce, ½ of the mozzarella cheese.  Repeat layers.  

Bake for 45 minutes at 350.  If using briquettes, 10 on the bottom and 18 to 20 on top.  Let rest for 5 to 10 minutes and serve.  

Sides:  French bread, green beans and salad.
