Spinach Ravioli with Roasted Pepper Sauce

1     medium red bell pepper
Kosher salt
1     18-ounce package refrigerated spinach-and-cheese ravioli
2     tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
3     cloves garlic, thinly sliced
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1     14-ounce can whole San Marzano tomatoes, crushed by hand
1/4  cup dry white wine
1/4  cup heavy cream
1/4  cup granted parmesan cheese
2     ounces ricotta cheese
2     tablespoons thinly sliced fresh mint



1.  Preheat the broiler. Put the bell pepper on a rimmed baking sheet and broil, turning, until charred all over, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and cover with a plated; set aside
2.  Bring a large pot of salted water to boil. Add the ravioli and cook as the label directs. Drain
3. Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and red pepper flakes and cook, stirring occasionally, until the garlic softens, about 1 minute. Add the tomatoes and their juices; cook, stirring, until the sauce starts thickening, about 2 minutes. Add the wine and cook until the sauce thickens, about 5 minutes.
4. Peel the charred skin off the roasted pepper; remove the stem and seeds. Puree the pepper in a blender or food processor until smooth, then add to the tomato sauce and simmer, stirring occasionally, until thickened, about 2 minutes. Add the heavy cream and cook, stirring occasionally, until the sauce is creamy, about 1 minute. Stir in the parmesan and season with salt. Top each serving of ravioli with the sauce, ricotta salata and mint.
