What it is
This is a package of fresh ravioli filled with broccoli rabe. Broccoli rabe, also known as rapini, has a distinct slightly bitter flavor that pairs well with the tender pasta. The filling is typically seasoned with garlic and sometimes a touch of chili for a subtle warmth. The pasta itself is made from durum wheat flour and eggs, giving it a good texture when cooked.

Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Carefully add the ravioli to the boiling water. Stir gently to prevent them from sticking to the bottom of the pot.
