Fresh is definitely best, but if you're wanting to use up some frozen ravioli, then we recommend cooking it first according to packaging instructions, and then adding to the sauce. Don't over boil the frozen ravioli, otherwise, it will start to come apart during the cooking process.
Feel free to use fresh or dried herbs. If using fresh, then use 1 or 2 tablespoons. If using dried, then use 1 or 2 teaspoons.
Leftovers will keep in an air-tight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. The dish can be frozen for up to 2 months. Thaw completely before heating in a saucepan.
