Skillet Ravioli

1 26 oz. jar spaghetti sauce
1/3 cup water
1 25 oz. package meat or cheese filled ravioli
1 beaten egg
1 15 oz. container of cottage cheese
1/3 cup parmesan cheese
A handful of fresh spinach (can use frozen if needed)

In a 12 inch skillet combine spaghetti sauce and water; bring to a boil.
Stir in ravioli.

Cover and cook mixture over medium heat for five minutes, or until ravioli are nearly tender, stirring mixture  to prevent sticking. (a medium boil) Give it a good stir before adding further ingredients.

In medium mixing bowl combine egg, cottage cheese and parmesan cheese.

Dot the ravioli with spinach, spoon cheese mixture on top. Cover and cook over a low heat about 10 minutes until cheese layer is set and pasta is just tender.
You need to continue a low boil to get your pasta cooked through.
Do not stir.

The amazing thing about this recipe is how quickly it is finished. 15 minutes! You can't beat it. Kids will eat this. I dot spinach on half the pan for those who are picky. This is one my kids top ten. Your kids will love it!

It serves four people. I have some small eaters so I can get away with one bag of pasta. If you are serving more than that, you may need to double the recipe. If you do, use two jars spaghetti sauce and 1/3 cup of water.  This should be served from the pan as everything is set at this point.
