How people cook with it
These ravioli are a versatile base for a variety of simple pasta meals.
- Tossed with brown butter
- Served with a light cream sauce
- Finished with toasted nuts

To prepare, bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Carefully add the ravioli to the boiling water. Stir gently to prevent sticking. Cook for the time indicated on the package, usually around 3-5 minutes, or until the ravioli float to the surface and are tender. Drain the ravioli carefully using a colander. You can then toss them with your favorite sauce, butter, or olive oil. Avoid overcooking, as this can make the pasta mushy and affect the texture of the filling.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to traditional ravioli, this plant-based version uses no eggs or dairy in the pasta dough or filling. The pumpkin and sage combination provides a distinct autumnal flavor that differs from common cheese or meat fillings. The texture of the pasta may also be slightly different due to the absence of egg.
