- 1 bag ravioli regular or gluten-free
- 1 lb ground chicken ground turkey, or ground beef
- 1 8 oz jar vodka sauce or tomato sauce
- 1 cup pesto
- 1 cup Park Skim shredded mozzarella shredded
- 1 cup Fat free ricotta
Cook the meat: Brown your ground meat in your pan until it's cooked through. Drain off any excess grease. Remove the meat and set aside. Wipe clean the skillet before moving to the next step.
Prep your pan: Start by spreading about 1/3 cup of vodka sauce on the bottom of an oven-safe skillet. This will help the ravioli not stick and create a flavorful base.
Layer the ravioli: Next, layer half of the ravioli directly on top of the sauce. No need to pre-cook them!
Assemble the layers: Spread the cooked ground meat over the layer of ravioli. Then, pour another layer of vodka sauce on top. Finally, add the remaining ravioli and cover with the rest of the vodka sauce.
Top it off: To finish, dollop spoonfuls of ricotta cheese over the sauce. Drizzle with pesto for a burst of flavor. Then, generously sprinkle with shredded mozzarella cheese.
Bake to perfection: Pop the skillet into a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) and bake for about 30-45 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
