In this article, I share my tried and tested methods for keeping ravioli fresh for as long as possible. Be it homemade, leftover, or even canned. The best way to store ravioli is in the freezer.

To freeze ravioli you should first flash freeze the pasta and then transfer it to a proper container. The frozen ravioli will maintain its quality for months but will remain safe to eat indefinitely.
The flash-freezing prevents the ravioli from sticking together when you put them in a bigger container. For added protection against the ravioli sticking together, you can sprinkle the individual pieces with semolina or cornmeal before freezing. Instead of just using a freezer bag, wrap the ravioli in saran wrap before putting it in the freezer bag.
Or you could wrap the freezer bag in aluminum foil, or put the freezer bag in an airtight container.

Use just enough flour to keep the dough from sticking to your hands and the counter as you knead for 10 minutes. It may seem like a long time, but you are helping the gluten proteins in the flour moisten and stretch. A soft and smooth dough is the sign you have kneaded enough and it will result in tender pasta. Not kneading enough may result in tougher pasta. Then, the dough gets covered and let rest to relax those gluten proteins.
Letting it rest will make rolling the dough easier. And, it gives you time to clean up, make your filling, and start your sauce.

Once it is situated where you want it, take a look at the filling bumps. Use the side of your hand to press the dough together between the bumps, accentuating the pockets of filling in each ravioli. A pizza cutter or a ruler works well for this. Just cut straight lines through the pressed down sections between the filling bumps.
Take each ravioli and give the edges one last press to seal the edges. This will accentuate any filling pockets that flattened out. If you are cooking your ravioli immediately, they can go directly into a pot of boiling, salted water. Simmer them lightly until they float minutes.
