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 settling at the bottom. Cook for the time indicated on the package, typically around 4-6 minutes, or until the ravioli float to the surface and the pasta is tender. Drain the ravioli carefully using a colander. Avoid overcooking, as this can make the pasta mushy and affect the texture of the filling.
