INSTRUCTIONS
NOTES: Traditionally the ravioli are dee-fried and served with a relish. These tidbits are baked and served with a tomato-onion-pepper salsa flavored with herb and vinaigrette common to the Italian kitchen. When fresh herbs are not available, substitute dried; generally one third dry equals one whole measure of fresh. CORE PEPPERS by removing stems, seeds and ribs with caution. *SERVES 10 appetizers or 5 entrees. Cook ravioli; drain and cool for at least 10 minutes. Meanwhile, place all salsa ingredients in a blender or food processor and proesss for 15 to 20 seconds. Set aside. (May be made ahead and refrigerated for up to 4 days.
