4. Ravioli lasagna with pepperoni

I cooked the ravioli, and doctored up jarred sauce with fresh mushrooms, onion, garlic, and jalapeno peppers. I mixed an egg with ricotta cheese and grated a block of Mozzarella, I had everything on hand except the ricotta and I got that the last trip to the grocery.

It turned out very tasty. Of course, I have a sink full of dishes, but totally worth it.

I got some coconut macaroons while I was out.

Steam-fried in evoo and veggie broth: chopped onion, celery, green bell pepper, sliced carrots, and minced garlic. When done I added canned petite tomatoes, tomato paste, black beans, more broth and spices of chili powder, cumin, oregano, chipotle powder, and red pepper flakes. When done I added air-fried red potato nuggets and have it a good stir. Dish topped with fresh avocado slices after plating. Salud!🍻
