• 1 lb cheese ravioli
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

   Bring a large pot of water to a boil and cook the ravioli until tender.

   Meanwhile, make the sauce. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the garlic and the red pepper flakes and cook 2 minutes. Do not let the garlic brown.

3. 3

   Toss in the pepper strips and saute, stirring often, for 10 minutes, or until the peppers are almost tender. Raise the heat to medium-high. Add the tomatoes, oregano, thyme, salt and pepper and cook 5 minutes more, or until the peppers are tender and the tomatoes are heated through.
