To prepare these ravioli, bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Carefully add the ravioli to the boiling water, ensuring they do not stick together. Stir gently to prevent them from settling at the bottom. Cook the ravioli for the time indicated on the packaging, usually just a few minutes, until they float to the surface and are tender. Drain them carefully, reserving some of the pasta water. They are now ready to be combined with your favorite sauce or dressing.
