Cheese Ravioli with Peppers and Corn

I can never have too many good side-dish recipes…my husband loved this one.  For the photo, I used frozen corn and frozen peppers from the garden, along with small cheese ravioli from the freezer.  Not much last minute fuss; it’s a great side dish all year round, especially nice with BLT’s, or with anything from the grill.
