Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.

Steps:
- For the vegetables: Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the carrots and cook for 1 minute. Then add the broccoli; cook for another minute. Add the red peppers; cook 1 minute more. Remove the vegetables from the skillet and set aside.
- To the skillet, add the butter and the remaining 1 tablespoon oil; allow to heat up. Add the mushrooms, zucchini and squash, and cook until starting to soften, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove the vegetables from the skillet and add them to the other vegetables. Set aside.
- For the sauce: Add the garlic and onions to the skillet, and cook until starting to turn translucent, about 2 minutes.
- Next, pour in the chicken broth and wine; stir, scraping the bottom of the pan to loosen all the flavorful bits. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes, until reduced by about half. Stir in the cream and Parmesan, and allow the cheese to melt. Add salt and black pepper to taste.
- Add the cooked vegetables to the sauce, along with the peas and basil; stir to combine. If the sauce needs a little more liquid, splash in a small amount of broth. Place the cooked pasta in a large serving bowl and pour all the contents of the skillet over the pasta; toss to combine. Sprinkle with extra basil, and serve with extra Parmesan.
Tips:
- To make a creamy, flavorful sauce, sauté onion, garlic, and mushrooms in butter until softened, then stir in flour, chicken or vegetable broth, heavy cream, white wine, and Parmesan cheese.
- For perfectly cooked ravioli, boil them in salted water until they float to the top, then drain and rinse them with cold water.
- When layering the ravioli and sauce in the baking dish, start with a layer of sauce, then a layer of ravioli, and repeat until all the ingredients are used up.
- Bake the ravioli bake in a preheated oven until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the sauce is heated through.
- Garnish the ravioli bake with fresh herbs, such as basil or parsley, before serving.
