How people cook with it
These ravioli are a versatile base for quick and satisfying meals. They pair well with a variety of sauces and simple additions.

To prepare, bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Carefully add the frozen ravioli, ensuring they do not stick together. Stir gently to prevent them from adhering to the bottom of the pot. Cook for the duration recommended on the packaging, typically a few minutes until the ravioli float to the surface and are tender. Drain them carefully and then combine with your chosen sauce or finishing ingredients. Avoid overcooking, as this can make the pasta mushy.
