Stacked Vegetables and Ravioli Recipe

Prep: 20 min. Bake: 30 min. + standing

Yield: 6 Servings

20 30 50

Ingredients

2 yellow summer squash
2 medium zucchini
1 package (9 ounces) refrigerated cheese ravioli
1 cup ricotta cheese
1 egg
1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
1 jar (24 ounces) marinara or spaghetti sauce
10 fresh basil leaves, divided
3/4 cup shredded Parmesan cheese

Directions

Using a vegetable peeler, cut squash and zucchini into very thin lengthwise strips. In a Dutch oven, cook ravioli according to package directions, adding the vegetable strips during the last 3 minutes of cooking.
Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, egg and garlic salt; set aside. Drain ravioli and vegetables.
Spread 1/2 cup marinara sauce into a greased 11-in. x 7-in. baking dish. Layer with half of the ravioli and vegetables, half of the ricotta mixture, seven basil leaves and 1 cup marinara sauce. Layer with remaining ravioli and vegetables and marinara sauce. Dollop remaining ricotta mixture over the top; sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
Cover and bake at 350° for 25 minutes. Uncover and bake 5-10 minutes longer or until cheese is melted. Let stand for 10 minutes before cutting. Thinly slice remaining basil; sprinkle over top. Yield: 6 servings.

We all enjoyed this a lot. Next time, I will chop up the basil leaves for the inner layer--finding a whole one in a bite was a little much!

Enjoyed this recipe. Very tasty and loved the zucchini and squash in it. I didn't have the shredded parmesan on hand, subtstituted part-skim mozzarella and turned out wonderful..Excellent!

I loved everything about this recipe. I made a half recipe as I cooked it for myself. It was easy to assemble and tasted delicious. Now I'm wishing I had made the full recipe!

I have made this a couple times now and my family really likes it. It is like a veggie lasagna, but with ravioli instead of lasagna noodles. It was easy to assemble and made great leftovers. The only thing I changed the second time around was how much squash I used. The recipe calls for too much for our tastes so I only used one of each the second time around.
