Summer is here, and sometimes that makes it hard to want to slave away in the kitchen. I use my microwave a lot, but I use it even more in the summer. My family appreciates good food, and I appreciate not having to spend as much time in a hot kitchen. With this recipe you won’t even have to turn on the 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 the food. Glass is usually a safe option if you don’t have the Rock N Serve container or something similar.

Ingredients

1 package (16 oz.) frozen ravioli

1 quart jar of your favorite spaghetti sauce

1 small can of mushrooms

1/2 cup chopped bell peppers

2 cups mozzarella cheese divided into 1-cup portions

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

Cook on high heat for 8 to 10 minutes or until ravioli is hot and tender. Remove. Top with remaining cheese. Microwave on high uncovered for 2 to 3 minutes or until cheese is melted.
