Medium Cheese Ravioli
What it is
This is a type of fresh pasta that features a filling made primarily from cheese. The pasta dough is typically made from flour and water, and sometimes eggs. The filling is a blend of various cheeses, often including ricotta, parmesan, or mozzarella, seasoned to create a savory flavor. The ravioli are shaped into small, sealed pockets, ready to be cooked and served with a sauce.
How people cook with it
Ravioli are a versatile pasta shape, perfect for a quick and satisfying meal. They pair well with a wide range of sauces.
- Served with marinara sauce
- Tossed with pesto

- Topped with alfredo sauce
To prepare, bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Gently add the ravioli to the boiling water, being careful not to overcrowd the pot. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking. The ravioli are typically cooked when they float to the surface, which usually takes a few minutes. Once cooked, carefully drain them using a colander. They are then ready to be combined with your favorite sauce and served immediately.
