Lasagna with Ravioli

You will need: Cheese ravioli and meat ravioli. Red sauce, red, green and yellow peppers for this recipe.

Cook your raviolis as directed and drain well. Cook your peppers until almost cooked. In a large deep baking pan add your sauce. Add your ravioli very close together and add a layer of peppers (red, yellow and green, pepperoni slices and red (or white) spaghetti sauce (or both mixed together). Add more sauce on top and sprinkle the top with parmesan cheese.

Bake at 350 until golden on top. Cook close to an hour. Just keep your eye on it so it doesn't burn.

Serve with garlic bread and a salad. Good the next day also if there is any left.
