Preheat oven to 375 degrees and prepare a baking dish and set aside.

Assemble the Ravioli Bake like this: *Ladle 1~2 scoops of marinara at the bottom of your baking dish, layer ravioli, next layer sliced squash, add more sauce, grated cheese and alternating dollops of sour cream and ricotta cheese, repeat layers*, lastly put 1~2 handfuls of grated cheese to top off casserole.
