.
Always use plenty of boiling water so the pasta does not stick.
.
1/2 lb (0.22 kg) of noodles will require at least 2 quarts of water, 1 lb (0.5 kg) of pasta
will require 6 quarts.
.
Add 1 teaspoon of salt for each quart of water.
.
Always bring the water to a full, rolling boil before adding pasta or it will not cook
properly.
.
Cooking time will vary based on the size, weight and ingredients of the noodles.
.
Homemade noodles take very little time to cook and should be tested after 3-4 minutes.
.
Pasta should be cooked “Al Dente.” This means it should not be mushy, but tender, yet
slightly hard to bite. Test the pasta frequently to test for doneness.
.
It is better that the noodles be slightly undercooked than overcooked.
.
Once pasta is cooked, drain it but never rinse.
.
For the best pasta dishes, add sauce to the drained noodles and serve immediately.

After preparing the ravioli, either cook the ravioli immediately, per recipe or refrigerate or
freeze for later use.
.
Boil ravioli in plenty of salted water for approximately 4 to 5 minutes. After tasting to
make sure they are adequately cooked, remove from the heat and drain
.
For temporary storage while preparing additional ravioli, store in a single layer on
parchment paper on a baking sheet and cover with damp paper towel to prevent the
ravioli from drying. Place in the refrigerator.
.
For long term storage, place ravioli in a single layer on parchment paper on a baking
sheet and freeze until solid. Once frozen, the ravioli can be vacuum sealed and stored
in the freezer for 3-4 months.
