Buitoni Italian Sausage Ravioli
What it is
These are fresh pasta parcels filled with seasoned Italian sausage and other savory ingredients. The dough is typically made from durum wheat flour and eggs, creating a tender yet firm texture. The filling offers a rich, meaty flavor profile that is characteristic of classic Italian sausage. Each raviolo is sealed to keep the filling contained during cooking. They are a convenient way to enjoy a homemade-style pasta dish.
