SERVES 6–8
INGREDIENTS
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 red bell pepper, chopped
- 1 28-ounce jar pasta sauce
- ½ cup water
- 1 24-ounce package frozen ravioli
- 1 15-ounce can black beans, rinsed and drained
- 1½ cups shredded pizza cheese
Preheat broiler. Heat olive oil in large ovenproof skillet over medium heat.
Add bell pepper; cook and stir for 2 to 3 minutes, until crisp-tender. Add pasta sauce and water; bring to a boil.
Add ravioli, stir, bring to a simmer, and cook for 4 to 8 minutes, until ravioli are hot. Add beans and stir.
Sprinkle with cheese, place under the broiler, and broil until cheese is melted and begins to brown. Serve immediately.
Modifying Equipment
If you don't have ovenproof pans or skillets, use heavy-duty foil to protect the handles. Wrap two layers of the foil around the handles and you can use the pans under the broiler. Foil can also be used to make a large pan smaller; just use it to build walls for the size pan you want. Fill the empty space with dried beans.
