To prepare, bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Carefully add the cheese-filled pasta to the boiling water. Stir gently to prevent sticking. Cook for the time indicated on the package, usually just a few minutes, until the pasta floats to the surface and is tender. Drain the pasta well. It can then be tossed with your favorite sauce, butter, or olive oil. Avoid overcooking to maintain its delicate texture and prevent the filling from bursting.
