Leftovers Tasty Baked Ravioli

Submitted by MarraMamba

"I developed this tonight using the leftovers of the wonderful recipe #30505 and the leftover sautéed portobello mushrooms called for in recipe #239635. Because they wont let us use recipes as ingredients i will post the info to do it from scratch, but it was made with left overs. You could use any combination of cherry tomato recipes and mushrooms, i found the above two perfect!"
