    Cook ravioli by bringing a large pot of water to a boil. Add ravioli and cook al dente, 2-3 minutes. Use a slotted spoon or skimmer to remove ravioli to a colander. Measure about 2/3 cup of pasta water and gradually whisk into butter sauce until smooth and creamy. Add ravioli, toss to coat with sauce, and simmer for 1 minute. Serve immediately. Have extra Parmesan at the table.
