Large Round Cheese Ravioli
What it is
These are large, circular pasta pockets filled with a savory cheese mixture. The pasta dough is typically made from durum wheat flour and eggs, creating a tender yet firm casing. The filling usually consists of a blend of cheeses, such as ricotta, parmesan, and mozzarella, seasoned with herbs and spices. Each piece is generously sized, making them a satisfying component of a meal. They are a convenient way to enjoy homemade-style ravioli without the preparation.

To prepare, bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Gently add the ravioli, ensuring not to overcrowd the pot. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
