Preparation

Preheat oven to 375 °F (190 °C)

In a glass measuring cup or bowl, combine pasta sauce, water and carrot. In the bottom of 9-inch (23 cm) casserole or glass baking dish spread a thin layer of the pasta sauce. On top of the sauce, layer one third of the ravioli, half of the spinach, and half of the Mozzarella cheese; repeat. Top with the remaining ravioli and sauce. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.

Cover with foil and bake for 35 min. Uncover and bake for 10 to 15 min or until the ravioli is tender and sauce is bubbly.

Tips

Cooking Tips: For a lower fat option read the label and select part skimmed Canadian Mozzarella.

Use reduced-sodium tomato sauce to keep sodium level in check.

There are different flavours of cheese ravioli, select your family’s favoruite.

For the Adventurous: For a kick of heat, add 1/2 tsp (2 mL) of hot pepper flakes to the sauce and use a parsnip instead of a carrot.
