2. Assemble the Casserole:
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Unroll crescent dough and press it into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie plate or small baking dish.
- Layer the bottom with half of the mozzarella.
- Spread the meat sauce evenly over the cheese.
- Drop small spoonfuls of ricotta or cottage cheese over the top.
- Sprinkle with the remaining mozzarella and Parmesan cheese.
3. Bake:
- If desired, brush the edges of the dough with beaten egg for a shiny, golden crust.
- Bake uncovered for 20–25 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
4. Serve:
- Let it cool for 5 minutes before slicing.
- Garnish with fresh basil or parsley and enjoy!
💛 Ashley’s Tips:
- Swap the beef for ground turkey, sausage, or even veggies for a lighter version.
- For a spicier kick, add a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes.
- This also reheats beautifully — perfect for leftovers or meal prep.
