Ingredients
  • 1 package of frozen ravioli (9 to 13 ounces)
  • 1 jar of chunky salsa
  • 1 cup of grated Mozzarella cheese
  • 1 red bell pepper, cut into thin slices
  • 1 onion, cut into thin rings

Preparation
Prepare the ravioli according to package directions.
Drain the ravioli and place the pieces on paper towels.
Spread a spoonful of salsa over the bottom of a 8x8 square baking dish.
Put one layer of ravioli in the dish, spread salsa over it, and some of the cheese.
Continue to layer the ravioli, salsa and cheese until they are gone, ending with a top layer of cheese.
Bake in a 350 degree oven until the cheese begins to brown.
While the ravioli bakes, heat the oil and butter in a pan.
Cook the red bell pepper and onion in the oil and butter until the onion is translucent.

Keep over low heat until the ravioli is finished.
Serve the ravioli with a sprinkling of chopped scallions on top and the green beans on the side.
