slo’s TUESDAY 10/14 poll - Ravioli

[clappyclaps]

I love ravioli. I don’t eat it often but when I do I adore it, and will happily have it with whatever filling I can get.

Whole Foods here makes a wonderful, fresh goat cheese ravioli that I love. Trader Joe's used to make one too, but they discontinued it. Both of these are dressed with a simple, but flavorful extra virgin olive oil.

I also like pumpkin or butternut squash or a good portobello mushroom ravioli. All of these in a white cream sauce.

I'm not into meat ravioli. If I'm going to have meat with pasta, I'd rather have a hearty, thick, meat bolognese sauce smothering the pasta.

I don't care for toasted ravioli. If I'm at a restaurant and going to have that many fried carbs, I'd rather have something like toasted wontons or something in a puff pastry, (if there is a choice.)

Two or three times a year I buy ravioli from the refrigerated case near the supermarket. Cheese, spinach, mushroom, or whatever appeals to me that day.

I liked canned ravioli as a kid and into college age but won’t touch it now.

I love em!

I love ravioli of almost any kind. Usually cheese but I will eat meat too (Canned ones mostly for the meat ones) If I make them at home they are frozen and cheese usually although I have done spinach and cheese, chicken, etc. I have had dreams about the Mezzaluna Ravioli at Carabba's (they are chicken and spinach) and as much as I would like to try more things on their menu I can't not get it if I go there, LOL.

Now, I did used to melt some american cheese over them, but in a bowl. It was big, cheesey mess!

I do that with the canned ones, usually Mozzarella though, soo yummy and gooey!

Pumpkin with cheese would be the best!

I like ravioli, and only have them a few times a year. Coincidentally I made some last night too. I tend to buy the large, round cheese filled ones. Over the years at restaurants I have had some of the fall ones and enjoyed them. I have never tried any canned ones, but keep saying one of these days I will break down and try canned pasta. Though several relatives may turn over in their graves if I do!

I eat ravioli occasionally and yes it's from the can.

Me too, Kitty! I’ve never ordered it in a restaurant or made it myself

 

[MIGrandma]

Sure, I like it, but I don't eat it much. I also like Chef Boyardee - I like to sort of pull them apart and scrape out the insides.

I do that too!

Mmmm……I love me a big ol plate of ravioli. I made this for dinner last night, so the thought of ravioli is still on my mind. I’m sure everyone knows what ravioli are, but did you know they can be stuffed with so many good things? I never really thought of it - meat and cheese is pretty much all I think of. So, let’s find out today what type of ravioli we all like. Give us your yummy pasta filled answer today……


Do you eat ravioli?
If yes….what type do you enjoy?
(multiple choice)

*If anyone has a good ravioli recipe and would like to share it, please do. It can be a recipe for the actual ravioli or a recipe that uses frozen/premade ravioli.



For Me……I don’t order ravioli in a restaurant very often, because if I’m at an Italian restaurant I’m getting something I don’t make at home. At home, my recipe isn’t anything fancy - I put sauce at the bottom of a 9x13, put a layer of frozen ravioli & mozz cheese and repeat the layers of sauce, ravioli and cheese - very easy. I only use cheese ravioli. The only time I eat meat ravioli is when Chef Boyardee makes it (yes, I eat ravioli in a can - it’s a nice, fast & easy meal that takes me back to my childhood. I don’t eat it a lot, maybe 6 cans a year) If I were at a restaurant and saw they had spinach & cheese ravioli, I’d order that. I also enjoy toasted ravioli as an appetizer.

Haven’t eaten Chef Boy R Dee in years and years and years but have very fond memories.

Ahhhh…carefree childhood.

Try not to think of it as "pasta", you'll be happier that way. It's really not anything like what you know as actual pasta but it is a serviceable thing unto itself. It makes a decent enough work lunch or evening fill-up if you're on your own and don't want to cook.

@Dan Murphy So what brand of ravioli does Marie buy??

Appropriately branded, Perfect Pasta. Marie said to tell you the secret is that the dough part is very light and airy. And it is very light, like her mom's.

One of the reasons I don’t eat canned ravioli anymore is because, just like in the photo, it’s in a swimming pool’s amount of sauce.

Yeah, sauce is good, but not THAT much. I suppose I could strain it first.

It's been a while, but I would say cheese is my fav

We have a local pasta/ Italian food shop that sells multiple type of raviolis. Our favorites are the Shrimp & Lobster. We also enjoy their Cheese .
The company is Severino's and they sell some of their pasta products at multiple Whole Foods store.
