HEB Buffalo Milk Mozzarella Ravioli
What it is
These ravioli are a fresh pasta product filled with creamy mozzarella cheese made from buffalo milk. The pasta dough is typically made with flour and eggs, forming a delicate casing for the rich filling. Buffalo milk is known for its higher fat content, which contributes to a particularly smooth and decadent mozzarella. The ravioli are sold refrigerated and are ready to be cooked quickly.

To prepare, bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Gently add the ravioli to the boiling water, being careful not to overcrowd the pot. Stir occasionally to prevent them from sticking. The ravioli are cooked when they float to the surface, which usually takes about 3 to 5 minutes. Drain them carefully and immediately toss with your desired sauce or topping. Avoid overcooking to maintain the delicate texture of the pasta and the creamy filling.
