To prepare, 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 adhering to the bottom of the pot. Cook for the time indicated on the package, usually a few minutes, until the ravioli float to the surface and are tender. Drain them gently and then toss with your desired sauce or seasoning. Avoid overcooking to maintain the delicate texture of the pasta and filling.

Refrigerate any unused portion of the ravioli promptly. Ensure the package is sealed tightly to prevent the pasta from drying out.
