Instructions
  1. Cook pasta 1 min. less than directed on package. Drain; set aside.
  2. Heat oil in large pot on medium-high heat. Add sausage; cook 3-4 min. or until done, using wooden spoon to break up large pieces.
  3. Reduce heat to medium; add onions, carrots and celery. Cook 5-6 min. or until onions are translucent, stirring frequently. Add garlic; stir 30 sec. Stir in sauce, broth and beans. Simmer 10 min. or until vegetables are tender, stirring occasionally. Add pasta; cook 1-2 min. until heated through. Top with cheese and parsley before serving.
Recipe Notes

To freeze, keep pasta separate as it will continue to absorb liquid in the soup.

Plant-based sausage is usually sold in the meat department or frozen aisle of the grocery store.

Instructions
  1. Prepare ravioli as directed on package. Drain, return to pot and keep warm.
  2. Meanwhile, place cauliflower and water in medium microwaveable bowl. Cover. Microwave on HIGH 5-6 min. or until soft. Transfer cauliflower, any remaining water, oil and sauce to blender. Blend until smooth. Add basil; blend until combined.
  3. Combine sauce mixture and ravioli in pot. Toss gently and sprinkle with additional small basil leaves.
Recipe Notes

Riced cauliflower is often available in both the fresh produce and frozen sections of the grocery store.

The cauliflower gives this sauce a dairy-like flavor and texture without adding heavy cream. For a completely dairy-free dish, serve this sauce with dry pasta such as penne or fettuccine.

Vegetable Ravioli Lasagna
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray a 13x9” baking dish with non-stick spray, set aside. In a medium-sized bowl, combine ricotta cheese, egg, Parmesan cheese, 1 teaspoon salt and 1 teaspoon pepper. Set aside.
  2. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil. Add the onion and sauté for five minutes, until onion softens. Add garlic, sauté for one minute. Then add summer squash, sliced mushrooms and spinach. Cook, stirring often, until the spinach is fully wilted and the summer squash has softened, about ten minutes.
  3. Drain any excess liquid from the pan (sometimes summer squash will have a lot of liquid that it releases when cooking) and season with 1 teaspoon salt and 1 teaspoon pepper.
  4. Add 1 cup of RAGÚ Simply™ Roasted Garlic Pasta Sauce to the skillet and remove from heat. Set aside.
  5. Spoon 1 cup of the pasta sauce into the bottom of the prepared baking dish and spread evenly across the bottom.
  6. Top with a single layer of frozen ravioli, 1/2 of the ricotta mixture, and 1/3 of the vegetable mixture from the skillet. Repeat the layers two times, ending with a final layer of pasta sauce on top.
  7. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over the top layer. Cover the baking dish tightly with foil and bake for 45 minutes. Remove foil cover and bake for ten minutes more. If you like your cheese to be browned a little, you can also put the Ravioli Lasagna under the broiler for two to three minutes at the end to crisp up the cheese.
  8. Remove from the oven and sprinkle with minced parsley to garnish, if desired. Let rest for ten minutes before cutting and serving.
Recipe Notes

Tips:

This recipe can be made ahead of time and stored covered in the fridge until you’re ready to bake it.

In step 3, be sure to drain all excess liquid from the sautéed vegetables as summer squash can release liquid when cooked.

Be sure to let the lasagna set for 10 minutes before serving. This allows the lasagna to cool and the layers to set nicely, so you have an easier time serving.

Veggie Spaghetti Squash Skillet
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 400ºF. Cut each squash into 1-1/2-inch-thick rings; remove seeds. Arrange on 2 rimmed baking sheets lined with parchment paper. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons oil. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Bake 40-45 minutes or until fork-tender. When cool enough to handle, cut through one section of each ring to peel and discard tough skins. Separate fibers to create long stands.
  2. Heat remaining oil in large skillet on medium-high heat. Add sausage and red pepper flakes; cook 5-7 minutes or until browned. Add onions, bell peppers and garlic; cook 3-4 minutes or until crisp-tender. Add tomatoes, squash strands and sauce. Cook 1-2 minutes or until heated through, gently mixing until combined.
  3. Sprinkle with cheese and basil before serving.
Recipe Notes

Tips:

Plant-based meatless or vegetarian Italian sausage is available in the refrigerated meat section or frozen aisle of a well-stocked grocery store.

Cutting the spaghetti squash into rings results in faster cooking and guarantees longer squash strands.
