Here’s a recipe by Chef Boyardee. I made quite a bit of changes because the prep time was more involved then I thought. It turned out great though!

Chef Boyardee Ravioli layered with cottage cheese, spinach and Italian blend cheese for an easy lasagna-type casserole
Ingredients
- PAM® Original No-Stick Cooking Spray
- 1 cup frozen loose cut leaf spinach
- 2 cans (15 oz each) Chef Boyardee® Beef Ravioli
- 1 can (14.5 oz each) Hunt’s® Diced Tomatoes, drained well
- 1-1/2 teaspoons dried Italian seasoning
- 1 cup 1% low-fat cottage cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 cup shredded Italian blend cheese
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F. Spray 8×8-inch glass baking dish with cooking spray. Place spinach in microwave-safe bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and microwave on HIGH 2 minutes; squeeze spinach dry.
- Combine ravioli, drained tomatoes and Italian seasoning in medium microwave-safe bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and microwave on HIGH 3 to 4 minutes or until mixture is hot. Combine cottage cheese, spinach and black pepper in small bowl.
- Place half of ravioli mixture in bottom of baking dish. Top with half of cottage cheese mixture and 1/2 cup shredded cheese. Repeat layers. Bake 15 minutes or until cheese is hot and bubbly.
After reading several reviews that this recipe came out way too watery, I decided to make some changes. I didn’t use cottage cheese and I cut the spinach in half. I mixed the Ravioli, Italian cheese, Italian seasonings and canned tomato in a bowl. Then I put it in a baking dish and sprinkled mozzarella cheese on it.
It was really good and I think next time I’ll add some garlic to it. The most important part is that the kids loved it and even had left overs the next day. It was a really easy way to get some veggies in their system!
