Ingredients

  • 1 5-6 ounce pkg. baby kale, coarsely chopped

  • 12 ounce Italian-flavor cooked chicken sausage, chopped

  • 1 ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese (6 oz.)

  • ½ cup snipped fresh basil

  • 1 28 ounce can no-salt-added crushed tomatoes

  • 1 14.5 ounce can fire-roasted diced tomatoes with garlic, undrained

  • 1 8 ounce can no-salt-added tomato sauce

  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning, crushed

  • ½ teaspoon fennel seeds, crushed

  • 2 9 ounce pkg. refrigerated cheese-filled ravioli

  • Grated Parmesan cheese (optional)

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F. Grease a 3-qt. rectangular baking dish. In a large bowl combine kale, sausage, 3/4 cup of the mozzarella cheese, and the basil. For sauce, in another large bowl combine next five ingredients (through fennel seeds).

  2. Spread about 1 cup of the sauce in the prepared dish. Top with half of the ravioli and kale mixture. Spoon 1 cup of the sauce over kale mixture. Top with remaining ravioli, kale mixture, and sauce. Sprinkle with the remaining 3/4 cup mozzarella cheese.

  3. Cover with nonstick or greased foil. Bake 30 minutes. Remove foil; bake about 25 minutes more or until heated through. If desired, top with a mixture of Parmesan cheese and additional basil.
