BEST COOKING RESULTS
FRESH PASTA
Fresh pasta can be kept refrigerated or frozen until use.
Bring 4-6 Quarts of water to boil. Add 1 TBSP of
kosher Salt. Place pasta in water. Stir gently with a pasta fork to separate. Bring to second boil. Reduce
heat to slow boil. Stir occasionally. Strain, sauce and serve. See below for approximate cooking time:
When cooking fresh pasta you can expect at least a 50% increase in weight
during cooking. Fresh pasta, made with egg, is porous and will absord much more water than dry pasta. For
example, one pound of fresh uncooked pasta will yield approximately 22-24 ounces of cooked pasta.
Thin pasta (Angel Hair & Spaghetti) Cook 1-2 Minutes.
Thicker pasta (Linguini and Fettuccine) 2-4 Minutes.
Keep in mind, fresh cut pasta may be frozen for future use. If you cook it from the frozen
state add 30 seconds or so of cooking time. Do not thaw once pasta is frozen. Cook
the pasta straight from the freezer and gently stir often using a pair of tongs to help the noodles separate.
Ravioli should be kept frozen until use. To preserve freshness, all Ravioli are made and sold/delivered fresh
- It is recommended to freeze them as soon as you get home. This way, they will be much easier to handle and separate
prior to cooking. And they will taste just as good!
For 12-16
Ravioli bring 4-6 Quarts of water to a rolling boil. Add 1 TBSP of kosher salt. Place Frozen Ravioli
in water. It’s best to take them straight from the freezer. Add one at a time to Pot. Stir gently to prevent sticking.
Return to boil. Reduce heat to slow boil. If cooked
frozen, boil 14-17 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove Ravioli with a slotted
spoon, sauce & serve. Never dump them into a colander.
Frozen pasta and ravioli should be used within 30-45 days from purchase.
