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.

  4. Cook on LOW 4 hours or until noodles are tender and most liquid is absorbed. Remove insert from slow cooker. Let stand 10-15 minutes before cutting to serve.
Recipe Notes

Tips:

Substitute ground beef or turkey for the sausage. Or, for a meatless version, substitute 2 pounds sliced white or cremini mushrooms.

No need to turn on the oven to make this hearty lasagna. The extra liquid in the recipe allows the noodles to cook perfectly while the flavors blend.

Instructions
  1. Heat oil in large pot on medium-high heat. Add vegetables, garlic, turmeric, salt and pepper; cook 4-5 min. or until softened. Stir in broth, lentils and quinoa; bring to boil. Cover. Cook on low heat 15-20 min. or until lentils are tender.
  2. Stir in sauce, chicken and kale; cook 5 minutes or until heated. Top each serving with 1 tablespoon yogurt and a light drizzle of olive oil.
Recipe Notes

Tips:

To simplify prep work, take advantage of pre-chopped vegetables from the produce department of the grocery store.

Chicken bone broth is a nutritious stock made by simmering bones, joints and aromatics in water for a long period of time. The resulting liquid is thick, rich in protein, collagen and gelatin, and makes a delicious base for soups and stews. Look for it in the same aisle as chicken broth.
