Ravioli, a classic Italian pasta, consists of a filling enveloped in thin layers of egg pasta dough. These small, pillow-shaped parcels can be filled with a variety of ingredients, including cheese (like ricotta, parmesan, or mozzarella), meats (beef, pork, chicken), vegetables (spinach, mushrooms, pumpkin), or seafood (lobster, crab). The texture is delightfully tender, yielding to a burst of flavor from the filling. Ravioli are often served in a simple sauce to highlight their delicate flavor, and they come in various shapes and sizes, sometimes flavored with herbs or spices for added complexity.

Fresh ravioli should be refrigerated immediately and used within 2-3 days. Store in its original packaging or an airtight container to prevent drying out. Dried ravioli should be stored in a cool, dry place, like a pantry, in its original packaging or an airtight container. It can last for several months past the 'best by' date. Frozen ravioli should be kept in the freezer until ready to cook; no need to thaw. Ensure the freezer temperature is consistent to prevent freezer burn.
