We recently took a look at the fresh pasta section of our refrigerators, and couldn’t help but notice that a pretty fundamental piece of the puzzle was missing: simple, traditional, classically cheesy ravioli. We immediately set to work with one of our Italian pasta suppliers to remedy this omission, and to say we were thrilled with what they came back with would be a tremendous understatement. Made with delicately thin pasta, wrapped around a luxuriously creamy filling comprised of four Italian cheeses, Trader Joe’s 4 Cheese Ravioli have a mild, savory flavor, a satisfyingly tender texture, and, simply put, one of the best filling-to-pasta ratios we’ve ever encountered.

Like our other fresh ravioli options, Trader Joe’s 4 Cheese Ravioli make a practically effortless entrée: after just a few minutes in salted, boiling water, they’re ready to be drained and dressed with whatever sauces or toppings you prefer. We find that their cheesy flavor profile lends itself well to pairing with our Creamy Tomato Basil Pasta Sauce, or even something as simple as a quick drizzle of olive oil, and bit of shaved Parmesan, and a few shakes of crushed red pepper. In the mood for something a little more involved? Try using them in an Italian Sausage and ravioli soup.
