Directions

  1. Preheat oven to broil.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large 12-inch (30 cm) skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and saute for a few minutes until softened. Stir in garlic and cook for 1 minute until it is golden and fragrant.
  3. Stir in tomatoes, tomato paste, 2 cups (500 mL) of water, Italian herb seasoning, and sugar. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Cook for 2 minutes.
  4. Stir in ravioli. Bring to a boil, cover, and reduce heat to low and simmer for 8-10 minutes until the ravioli is tender.
  5. Stir in lentils and herbs. Cook for 2-3 minutes until lentils are warmed through.
  6. Remove skillet from heat. Top with mozzarella and Parmesan. Place under the broiler and cook until cheese is melted and browned, about 2-4 minutes.
