Microwave ravioli

Summer is here and sometimes that makes it hard to want to be a kitchen slave. I use my microwave a lot, but I use it even more in the summer. My family appreciates good meals, and I appreciate not having to spend so much time in a hot kitchen. With this recipe you won’t even have to turn on your stove or oven. Give it a try.

I use a large, deep Tupperware Rock N Serve container for this recipe. If you can find a similar container, give it a try. Just remember that you only want to use microwave safe containers for the microwave. Containers that are not microwave safe can release unwanted chemicals into your food. Glass is usually a safe option if you don’t have the Rock N Serve container or something similar.

Ingredients

1 pkg. (16 oz.) Frozen ravioli

1 quart jar of your favorite spaghetti sauce

1 small can of mushrooms

1/2 cup bell peppers, chopped

2 cups mozzarella cheese divided into 1 cup servings

Place all ingredients except 1 cup cheese in your microwaveable bowl. Cover the container but try to leave some type of ventilation. That’s why the Rock N Serve is good because it has a vent and that makes it easy for steam to release while cooking.

Cook over high heat for 8 to 10 minutes or until the ravioli are hot and tender. Stir. Top with the remaining cheese. Microwave on high without a lid for 2 to 3 minutes or until cheese is melted.
