Heinen's Burrata & Lemon Ravioli
What it is
This is a fresh pasta product featuring ravioli filled with a creamy burrata cheese and bright lemon filling. The pasta dough is typically made from flour and eggs, providing a tender casing for the rich interior. The combination of smooth, milky burrata and the zesty citrus creates a balanced and flavorful filling that is both decadent and refreshing. It is a convenient way to enjoy gourmet pasta at home.
How people cook with it
These ravioli are perfect for a quick and elegant weeknight meal or for entertaining guests. They pair well with a variety of simple sauces that complement their delicate flavors.
- Tossed with butter and sage
- Served with a light cream sauce
- Finished with fresh herbs
- Drizzled with olive oil
To prepare, bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Carefully add the fresh ravioli, ensuring they do not stick together. Stir gently. Cook for a short time, typically 3-5 minutes, or until the ravioli float to the surface and the pasta is tender. Drain the ravioli, reserving a small amount of the cooking water. Toss immediately with your chosen sauce or a simple drizzle of olive oil and fresh herbs. The residual heat will continue to cook the pasta and meld the flavors.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to dried ravioli, fresh pasta has a more tender texture and a richer mouthfeel. The burrata and lemon filling offers a distinctively creamy and tangy profile, setting it apart from more traditional meat or cheese fillings. The delicate nature of the fresh pasta requires a shorter cooking time.

How to keep the rest
Keep refrigerated. Once opened, consume within the recommended date on the packaging. If freezing, ensure the ravioli are well-wrapped to prevent freezer burn and cook from frozen, adding a minute or two to the cooking time.
