What it is
These are square-shaped pasta pockets filled with seasoned ground beef. The dough is typically made from flour and eggs, creating a tender casing for the savory filling. They are a convenient way to enjoy a classic Italian-American dish. The pasta is pre-formed and ready for cooking, making meal preparation straightforward. The beef filling is usually seasoned with herbs and spices to provide a rich flavor.

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 the time indicated on the package, usually around 6-10 minutes, or until the ravioli float to the surface and the pasta is tender. Drain them well before serving. They can then be combined with your favorite sauce or prepared as desired.
