• ½ cup cottage cheese
• 2 eggs
• 1 tbsp dried oregano leaves
• ½ tsp coarse salt
• ¼ tsp ground black pepper
• ¼ tsp garlic powder

   Meanwhile, mix together marinara, cottage cheese, eggs, oregano, salt, black pepper and garlic powder in a bowl until combined.
   
   Coat a 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray. Assemble each cup by layering a scoop of marinara mixture, ravioli, a scoop of pesto, a slice of fresh mozzarella, a square of zucchini, another ravioli and another scoop of marinara mixture.
   
   Top with about a tablespoon of shredded mozzarella. Bake 12-14 minutes.
   
   Turn oven to high broil and cook additional 2 minutes, until cheese is browned. Allow to slightly cool, then remove each lasagna cup and garnish with chopped parsley.
