How people cook with it
Ravioli are a versatile pasta that can be prepared in many ways. They are a popular choice for quick weeknight meals.
- Boiled and served with sauce
- Baked in a casserole
- Added to soups
- Tossed with butter and herbs
To prepare the ravioli, bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Carefully add the ravioli to the boiling water, stirring gently to prevent them from sticking together. Cook the ravioli for the time indicated on the package, usually just a few minutes, until they float to the surface and are tender. Drain the ravioli well using a colander. They can then be served immediately with your favorite sauce, such as marinara, alfredo, or pesto. Alternatively, they can be added to soups or baked into dishes.
How it differs from similar foods
This cheese ravioli differs from other pasta shapes in its filled nature. Unlike spaghetti or penne, each piece contains a distinct cheese filling. This makes it a more substantial and flavorful pasta option on its own, often requiring less complex sauce to be enjoyable.
