Instructions

Start with a large pot of COLD water. Hot water from the tap often contains added minerals that can damage pots and alter taste.
Typically: 4 quarts water, 2 tablespoons salt, and 1 pound of pasta
Use a large pot (this is the one I use) to boil water and cook ravioli. This allows movement for the stuffed pasta (a good rule of thumb for all pasta).
Make sure you have plenty of water in the pot.
Salt the water. This is an Italian MUST to flavor the pasta from the inside out. You want your pasta to taste seasoned before adding any sauce to it.
Bring the water to a full boil, or rolling boil, before adding the ravioli.
Do NOT add olive oil to the water when cooking pasta.
Stir occasionally with the proper utensil to keep the pasta from sticking.
Gently stir the ravioli so they don’t break.
As soon as the ravioli float to the top of the water- taste test the ravioli to make sure they are “al dente” before draining. (Cooking time should be about 3 minutes, add 1 minute for a softer bite)
Save a scoop or a bit of pasta water. Another Italian secret! This helps thicken and bind the pasta and the sauce.
Remove ravioli with a slotted spoon, add to a thin layer of sauce (add more on top), and serve immediately.
