Jumbo Chicken Ravioli
What it is
These are large pasta pockets filled with a savory chicken mixture. The pasta dough is typically made from durum wheat flour and eggs, encasing a seasoned filling. The jumbo size means each piece offers a substantial bite, making them a satisfying component of a meal. They are a convenient way to enjoy a classic Italian-inspired dish.
How people cook with it
Jumbo chicken ravioli are a versatile pasta shape that can be dressed up or down with various sauces and accompaniments.
- Served with marinara sauce
- Tossed with pesto
- Baked with cheese
- Added to soup
To prepare, bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Carefully add the jumbo chicken ravioli, ensuring they do not stick together. Stir gently to prevent them from adhering to the bottom of the pot. Cook for the time indicated on the packaging, usually a few minutes until they float to the surface and are tender. Drain them well before combining with your chosen sauce or adding to other dishes.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to smaller ravioli, jumbo ravioli have a larger surface area and a more generous filling-to-pasta ratio. This means they hold sauce differently and provide a more prominent chicken flavor in each bite. Their size also makes them cook slightly longer.
