- Be gentle when handling the ravioli to avoid tearing the delicate pasta sheets. Use your fingertips to gently press the edges of the ravioli together, ensuring they are tightly sealed and won’t fall apart during cooking.
- When cooking the ravioli, be sure to bring the water to a rolling boil before adding the pasta. Cook the ravioli for 2-3 minutes or until they start to float to the surface, then remove them with a slotted spoon.
- To make the sauce extra creamy, you can add a tablespoon of butter to the skillet after sautéing the garlic and shallots but before adding the cream. This will create a rich and velvety texture that pairs perfectly with the delicate spinach ravioli.
