To prepare, bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Gently add the mini ravioli, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. Cook for a short time until the ravioli float to the surface and are tender. This usually takes only a few minutes. Drain them carefully and then toss with your favorite sauce, herbs, or a drizzle of olive oil. They absorb flavors well, making them adaptable to many culinary creations.
