This is a package of fresh spinach ravioli. Ravioli are a type of pasta that consists of a filling sealed between two thin layers of pasta dough. The filling in this particular variety is made with spinach. The pasta dough is typically made from durum wheat flour and eggs. It is a convenient way to enjoy a classic Italian-inspired dish at home without making pasta from scratch.

- Tossed with butter and sage
- Served with marinara sauce
- Drizzled with pesto

To prepare the spinach 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 clinging to the bottom of the pot. Cook for the time indicated on the package, usually just a few minutes, until the ravioli float to the surface and are tender. Drain them well. You can then toss them with your favorite sauce, such as a simple butter and herb sauce, a rich tomato sauce, or a light olive oil and garlic dressing. Serve immediately.
How it differs from similar foods
This ravioli differs from dried ravioli in its texture and cooking time. Fresh pasta, like this spinach ravioli, cooks much faster and has a more tender, delicate bite. Dried ravioli requires a longer cooking time and often has a firmer texture. The fresh spinach filling also provides a distinct flavor compared to other common ravioli fillings.
