Ravioli and Zucchini Cheese Bake

This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of Kraft. The opinions and text are all mine.

I don’t think life gets any crazier than in the month of December. Between every day activities and then all the holiday hustle and bustle I feel like I need a 27 hour day to fit every thing in. I don’t want to drop the proverbial ball though when it comes to dinner, but at this time of the year I’m all about quick and easy.

In my family a “perfect” recipe needs just three things: pasta, sauce and cheese. But I’m trying to find a way to sneak some healthier food in where possible and a ravioli baked dish seemed like a great opportunity for just that. The problem? I couldn’t find a vegetable that I though we’d all eat to incorporate into the recipe (which I adapted from one over at KraftRecipes.com). Then I saw a can of zucchini in Italian sauce on the store shelf and I knew I had struck the perfect combo for this recipe.

This will have your whole family asking for seconds.

Be sure to use the Kraft Shredded Mozzarella Cheese with a Touch of Philadelphia. It will create the gooey cheesy topping. The Philly makes all the difference!
