- 1 red onion finely chopped
- 2 garlic cloves crushed
- 2 cups cherry tomatoes quartered
- 1/2 cup water/stock
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar

for the ravioli bake
- 500 g ready-made shop-bought ravioli (I used a butternut-filled ravioli)

Instructions
- Pre-heat the oven to 200°c
- To make the sauce, fry the onion and garlic in a splash of olive oil until soft and translucent then add the tomatoes, stock, Balsamic and sugar.
- Bring the sauce to a simmer then reduce the heat and allow to simmer for 10 minutes until reduced and thickened slightly. Season to taste.
- In the meantime, blanche the ravioli in plenty of salted water for a minute then drain and set aside.
- To assemble the bake, layer the blanched ravioli with the tomato sauce and sliced mozzarella.
- Place in the oven and bake for 10-15 minutes until golden and bubbling.
