In a bowl, combine ricotta cheese, sour cream, ½ cup mozzarella, and ¼ cup Parmesan.
3. Assemble the casserole:
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Spread a thin layer of meat sauce in the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish.
Arrange half the ravioli over the sauce.
Spread the creamy mixture over the ravioli, then add the spinach if using.
Layer with the remaining ravioli, meat sauce, and the rest of the mozzarella and Parmesan.
4. Bake:
