3.  In a large pot of boiling salted water, boil ravioli in small batches for 2-3 minutes.  When they float, count to 30 seconds and they're done.

Creole Sauce (Emeril Lagasse Recipe)
In a saucepan with a lid, over medium heat, add the oil.  When the oil is hot, add the onions, celery and green bell peppers.  Season with salt and pepper.  Saute the vegetables for 2-3 minutes or until the vegetables start to wilt.  Stir in the garlic, tomatoes and herbs.  Continue to saute for 1 minute.  Season the vegetables with salt, pepper and cayenne.  Stir in Worcestershire sauce and stock.  Bring the liquid to a boil and reduce to a simmer.  Cook for 12 minutes covered, stirring occasionally.  Stir in the green onion and stir in the butter.  Serve warm.

Enjoy!
