Ravioli with Zucchini

Not sure where I got this recipe...but I'm awfully glad I did!

(1) 9 ounce package Refrigerated Cheese Ravioli

(1) Medium Red Bell Pepper, coarsely chopped

3 cups julienne-cut (2x1/4x1/4 inch) zucchini

1/2 teaspoon Garlic Powder

1/2 teaspoon Dried Basil Leaves

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 cups water

1/2 teaspoon chicken flavor instant bouillon

1/4 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

1) Cook ravioli to desired doneness as per package directions.

2) Meanwhile, spray large skillet with non-stick cooking spray. Heat on Medium-High until hot. Add zucchini, red pepper, garlic, basil, salt and pepper. Cook and stir 3-5 minutes or until vegetables are crisp-tender.

3) Drain ravioli; rinse with hot water. Add ravioli, water and bouillon to vegetables. Mix gently. Cook for 3-5 minutes over Medium-Low until thoroughly heated, stirring occasionally. Add cheese. Toss gently to combine.

Absolutely delicious! Even if you don't like zucchini like me, you have to try this. Yum!
