To prepare, bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Carefully add the frozen ravioli to the boiling water. Stir gently to prevent them from sticking together. Cook for the time indicated on the packaging, usually around 5-8 minutes, until the ravioli float to the surface and the pasta is tender. Drain the ravioli well, being careful not to break them.
