Get some YUM Quick and Easy!

This is a very delicious recipe that was quick and easy! It took me less than 30 minutes to make and that was using frozen ravioli! No thawing necessary for this!! I had enough time in making this that I was able to whip up Banana Pudding so my husband was out the door with dinner and a dessert!

For a dish with more heat, do not seed the jalapeño pepper.
