• Lightly coat a baking sheet with a drizzle of olive oil. Drizzle each bell pepper half with olive oil, salt, and pepper; place cut sides down on one side of prepared sheet. • Toss tomato on empty side with a drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper. • Roast on middle rack until veggies are softened and lightly charred, 20-25 minutes. • Let bell pepper cool slightly, then transfer to a cutting board and thinly slice into strips.

Step 3

• When veggies are almost done, gently add ravioli to pot of boiling water. Reduce to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until al dente and floating to the top, 4-5 minutes. • Reserve ½ cup pasta cooking water (1 cup for 4 servings), then drain.

Add a squeeze of lemon juice to taste. Season generously with salt and pepper.

Step 6

• Add drained ravioli to pan with sauce; gently toss until thoroughly coated. TIP: If necessary, add more pasta cooking water a splash at a time until ravioli is coated in a creamy sauce. • Divide between plates and top with remaining Parmesan and lemon zest to taste. Serve with any remaining lemon wedges on the side.
