A very simple and tasty dish. Lasagna doesn't get any easier than this. We used a 4-cheese ravioli and really enjoyed the red peppers with the basil. Also, thanks for the tip of putting this on a piece of foil - it saved my recently cleaned oven, lol. Thanks Lainey for a great dinner.

Sorry but kinda confusing about the pasta sauce. I barely had 2 cups. And it says there should be enough sauce to put on top? Not happening. I had to add some more sauce from another jar. I was afraid if there wasn't enough liquid the ravioli wouldn't cook? Help?
