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 around 5-7 minutes, or until the ravioli float to the surface and the pasta is tender. Drain the ravioli gently. They can then be tossed with your favorite sauce, such as a marinara, pesto, or a simple butter and herb sauce. A sprinkle of Parmesan cheese or fresh basil makes a lovely finishing touch.
