COOKING TIPS

In the kitchen.

1Cook directly from frozen in a large pot of generously salted, boiling water. Do not thaw, as this can cause the ravioli to become sticky and fall apart.
2Stir gently immediately after adding to the water to prevent sticking. Ravioli are typically cooked when they float to the surface, usually within 3-7 minutes.
3For a richer flavor and crispier texture, boil for a few minutes until al dente, then drain and pan-fry in butter or olive oil with herbs like sage.
4Serve with a simple sauce like marinara, pesto, or brown butter to avoid overpowering the delicate cheese filling.

STORAGE

Keep it fresh.

Store in the freezer at or below 0°F (-18°C) in its original, sealed packaging.
Once the package is opened, remove excess air, reseal tightly, and use within 1-2 months to prevent freezer burn and maintain quality.
