Each piece is a small, sealed pocket of deliciousness, ready to be cooked and enjoyed. They are a convenient way to bring a taste of autumn to your table any time of year.
How people cook with it
These ravioli are a versatile ingredient for quick and satisfying meals. They pair well with a variety of sauces and can be dressed up or down.
- Tossed with brown butter and sage
- Served with a light marinara sauce
- Added to a creamy alfredo
- Mixed into a hearty vegetable soup
To prepare, bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Carefully add the ravioli, ensuring they do not stick together. Stir gently to prevent them from settling at the bottom. Cook for a short time, usually just a few minutes, until the ravioli float to the surface and the pasta is tender. Drain them carefully and immediately toss with your chosen sauce or topping. Avoid overcooking to maintain their delicate texture and prevent the filling from escaping.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike dried pasta, fresh ravioli cooks much faster due to its higher moisture content. The delicate pasta dough also offers a softer bite compared to the firmer texture of dried varieties. The butternut squash filling provides a distinct sweetness and smooth consistency.
