Notes
Note 1- If using frozen ravioli, add an extra minute to the cook time.Note 2- Use water or vegetable stock if you forgot to reserve some pasta water.Note 3 - Do not over-boil the pasta as it will rip open and the filling will spill out.Note 4- Watch the butter as it browns as it can burn quickly.Nutritional information is just a guideline/estimate and is not exact.
