Million Dollar Ravioli Casserole

Ingredients:

• 1 lb Italian sausage
• 1 (28-oz) jar spaghetti sauce
• 1 cup cottage cheese
• 1 (8-oz) package cream cheese, softened
• 1/4 cup sour cream
• 2 tablespoons chopped parsley
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 (25-oz) package frozen cheese ravioli
• 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

Directions:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 350ºF (175ºC). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with cooking spray and set aside.
2. Prepare Meat Sauce: In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the Italian sausage until browned and fully cooked. Drain excess fat. Stir in the spaghetti sauce and set aside.
3. Mix Cheeses and Ravioli: In a large bowl, combine cottage cheese, softened cream cheese, sour cream, Parmesan cheese, parsley, and garlic powder until well mixed. Add the frozen cheese ravioli and toss gently to coat evenly.
4. Assemble Casserole: Spread the ravioli mixture evenly in the prepared baking dish. Pour the meat sauce over the ravioli mixture, spreading it evenly. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese on top.
5. Bake: Bake uncovered for 45 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbly and the cheese is melted and lightly browned.
6. Serve: Let the casserole cool for 10-15 minutes before serving to allow it to set.
