To prepare, bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Carefully add the ravioli, ensuring they do not stick together. Cook for the time indicated on the package, usually a few minutes, until they float to the surface and the pasta is tender. Drain gently and toss immediately with your favorite sauce or a simple drizzle of olive oil and herbs. Avoid overcooking, as this can make the pasta mushy and the filling less distinct.
