Preservation

If you want to prepare the egg pasta dough in advance you can preserve it for 12 hours in the refrigerator on a tray sprinkled with flour, taking care not to crush the ravioli and covering them with breathable kitchen paper. After cooking, however, it is preferable to eat them immediately so as not to lose their fragrance.
