Cheese ravioli topped with green, red, and yellow peppers. "I absolutely love this recipe," says VMCENROE. "I was so bored with the same old tomato sauce or alfredo sauce. This is exactly what I was looking for. Although it tastes great as is, I will also try it with sauteed garlic next time. If you like your vegetables crisp then I recommend heating the vegetables just long enough to tenderize the garlic because they will continue to cook when the broth is added."
