Notes
Don’t Overcook the Ravioli. Ravioli only need a few minutes of boiling. Much more than that and they may start falling apart.
Adjust Sauce Consistency to your liking. Want it a little thicker? Simmer it a bit longer or add extra thickener. For thinner, add a bit more pasta water, cream, or broth.
