Before starting, wash and dry all produce. Add 10 cups water and 1 tbsp salt to a large pot (use same for 4 ppl). Cover and bring to a boil over high heat. Meanwhile, core, then cut pepper into 1/2-inch pieces. Peel, then cut half the onion into 1/2-inch pieces (whole onion for 4 ppl). Pick basil leaves from stems. Keep leaves and stems separate.
Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat. When hot, add 1/2 tbsp oil (dbl for 4 ppl), then peppers and onions. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tender-crisp, 3-4 min.
Add crushed tomatoes, garlic powder. basil stems, 1/4 cup water and 1/2 tsp sugar (dbl both for 4 ppl) to the pan with veggies. (TIP: Swirl the water in the empty tomato container to get every last drop!)Reduce heat to medium-low. Cook, stirring occasionally, until sauce thickens slightly, 6-8 min.
When sauce is almost done, add ravioli to the boiling water .Cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, 3-4 min. Reserve 1/4 cup pasta water (dbl for 4 ppl), then drain ravioli and return to the same pot, off heat.
Carefully remove basil stems from sauce and discard. Add spinach and sun-dried tomato pesto to the pan with sauce. Cook, stirring often, until spinach wilts, 1 min. Add sauce and half the Parmesan to the pot with ravioli, then gently toss to coat. (TIP: For a lighter sauce consistency, add reserved pasta water, 1-2 tbsp at a time, if desired!)Season with pepper, to taste.
Divide ravioli between plates. Tear basil leaves over top. Sprinkle with remaining Parmesan.
