How to make Evolve Frozen Ravioli / Tortellini
Bring a small pot with water to boil rapidly. Add a teaspoon of vegetable oil. Add half of your frozen ravioli / tortellini but not overcrowding the pot.
Cook each batch for about 8 - 10 minutes until the pasta is cooked but still al dente.
Remove pasta from water and set aside. Never rinse your pasta with water as it will prevent the sauce from coating the pasta.
Heat a pan to medium heat, add a little vegetable oil, then the butter. Once butter has melted, add your cooked pasta & sautee until golden brown on both sides. Serve up with your favourite sauce.
Tips & Tricks
Ensure the ravioli do not touch each other when setting aside to prevent sticking.
Cook directly from frozen. Do not defrost the pasta.
