Frozen ravioli is mixed with 3 different cheeses, topped with an Italian sausage spaghetti sauce and topped with even more cheese and then baked to perfection.
This casserole is not difficult to prepare, it only takes about 15 minutes and you do not even have to thaw the ravioli. However, if desired, you can prepare the casserole the night before, refrigerate and then bake the next day. It just might take an extra few minutes if you bake it straight from the refrigerator. For a little spiciness, use hot Italian sausage.

- 1 pound Italian sausage
- 28 ounces spaghetti sauce

Directions:
- Preheat the oven to 350º F. Spray a 9x13 inch baking dish with cooking spray.
- In a large skillet, over medium-high heat, cook and crumble the Italian sausage. Once the sausage is completely cooked, drain any fat from the skillet. Stir in the spaghetti sauce and set aside.
