Will list some option for you ..
Option 1: Ricotta cheese! Adds creaminess without extra moisture. Mix it in with your usual cheese for a thicker, heartier filling.
Option 2: Pre-cook your fillings! Sautéed veggies or ground meat dry them slightly without sacrificing flavor. Just don't overcook!

To thicken ravioli filling, use ingredients like cheese, breadcrumbs, or ground meat, and ensure the filling is well-drained to avoid excess moisture.

I think adding a bit of ricotta cheese inside can really help thicken ravioli. It gives a nice creamy texture too.
