Hey so I've been cooking ravioli and it says on the package 4-6 minutes boiling water but when I put the ravioli into the water, it stops boiling for a while because the ravioli is cold so it's unclear to me if that means 4-6 minutes after it starts boiling again or 4-6 minutes in general.

Also, I just wanted to say I think Irelia should be nerfed, this "sustained damage diver" champion archetype makes me want to burn down my minecraft house. It seems like if this champion Q's onto me when I'm playing an ADC or something my chances of being alive even when she just has one item and I have two is close to zero. It's not really a balance thing I just really hate this and I think that if I have to suffer so should they, which IS a form of balance.

If you get it to a good rolling boil the water should usually just stay boiling.

Honestly though, you should probably just check doneness by pulling a ravioli out of the water and nibbling on a corner, pull it out when it's still a bit tough to your teeth and finish it in a nice sauce for optimal flavor though.

As a person who always cook pasta like an Italian grandmother, I agree. Give it a good boil and put thr ravioli in there and wait a few minutes. Once squishy take it out and you're done with pasta.

Also how do you feel about chicken alfredo?

While not authentic at all a good alfredo (with plenty of garlic) is tasty as hell, but by god people use crusty ass dry chicken breast way too often in that dish.

See it is all on how you prep your chicken that makes the Alfredo good. You also gotta get loss in the sauce for that effective creamy goodness that the dish provides. Not cheesy enough makes me sad.

Ikr. When people aren't dumping cheese into an alfredo like... why even have alfredo at that point.

I really do agree a good alfredo is tasty as hell. I also think nerfing irelia is a tasty idea as well.

LPT: Irelia mains usually can't read very well, so when you see them about to dive you can just ask them a question in all chat and they'll get stunlocked for a few seconds trying to read.

I made the mistake of too much cheese one time and it turned into a block of cheese in the fridge. I was still delicious though.

Oh it's definitely not a sauce that refrigerates well, the vast majority of cheese sauces should really be 1 and done imo

Don't forget to save some pasta water when straining and pouring it onto the ravioli with the sauce to help bind the sauce to the pasta.
