Buitoni Four Cheese Ravioli
What it is
These are fresh pasta pockets filled with a blend of four cheeses. The dough is typically made from durum wheat flour and eggs, giving it a tender texture. The filling combines cheeses like ricotta, parmesan, asiago, and romano, offering a savory and slightly sharp flavor profile. The ravioli are pre-formed and ready to be cooked, making them a convenient option for a quick meal.

- Boiled and tossed with butter
- Simmered in marinara sauce
- Served with pesto
- Added to a light cream sauce
To prepare, bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Gently add the fresh ravioli to the boiling water, being careful not to overcrowd the pot. Stir them occasionally to prevent sticking. Cook for approximately 3 to 5 minutes, or until the ravioli float to the surface and the pasta is tender. Drain them carefully and then toss with your favorite sauce, such as a simple butter and herb sauce, a rich tomato sauce, or a light pesto.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to dried ravioli, fresh ravioli cooks much faster due to its higher moisture content and thinner pasta. The texture is also softer and more delicate. The fresh cheese filling tends to be creamier and less dense than some dried versions.
