This meal is one of our favorites. I got the recipe from my mom, and I don’t know where she got it. I’ve changed it a bit over time to make it easier, and it’s one that can easily be adapted to fit your particular tastes.

Ingrediants:
• 1 package Grands Biscuits, 8 count (we use the reduced fat ones)
• 1 jar of pasta sauce or equivalent amount of sauce (I think it’s about 26 oz, but I could be wrong)
• ½ cup cottage cheese—small curd works best
• 1/3 cup ricotta cheese
• ½ cup mozzarella cheese
• Spices like garlic powder, oregano, basil, Italian seasoning, etc.

Directions:
1. Preheat the oven to 375.
2. Heat the sauce. I like to add extra spices to mine. Doctor yours as desired. Heating the sauce helps the biscuit raviolis to cook better.
3. Roll out the biscuits. I find this works best with a rolling pin. You want them about ¼ inch thick.

4. Mix all of the cheeses together. I add about 1 tablespoon combined of garlic powder, black pepper, oregano, basil, rosemary, and thyme. Use whatever flavors your family likes.
5. Put a heaping spoonful of the cheese mixture in the center of each biscuit. Try to avoid getting it on the edges because it makes it hard to seal. Fold each biscuit over and seal the edges with a fork. Flip it over and seal the edges on the other side with a fork, too.

6. Pour the hot pasta sauce into a 13×9 inch pan (I line mine with foil to make clean up super easy). Place the biscuits in the pan. If desired, you can then sprinkle the tops of the biscuits with more seasonings. I put garlic powder and some Italian seasoning on mine. Sometimes I use grated parmesan, too.

We like to add a salad to add some nutritional value to this yummy dish. Enjoy!
