To prepare, bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Carefully add the ravioli to the boiling water, stirring gently to prevent them from sticking together. Cook the ravioli for the time indicated on the package, usually just a few minutes, until they float to the surface and the pasta is tender. Drain the ravioli carefully, reserving a little of the pasta water. Toss the cooked ravioli with your favorite sauce immediately. The reserved pasta water can be used to help the sauce coat the ravioli more evenly.
