Auchan Ravioles du Dauphiné
What it is
These are small, delicate pasta parcels originating from the Dauphiné region of France. They are typically filled with a mixture of cheese, often Gruyère or Comté, and sometimes a touch of nutmeg or herbs. The pasta dough is thin and tender, designed to cook quickly and absorb the flavors of the filling and any sauce. They are a classic comfort food, offering a satisfying yet light bite.
How people cook with it
Ravioles du Dauphiné are a versatile ingredient that can be enjoyed in many ways, from simple preparations to more elaborate dishes.
- Boiled and served with butter
- Added to broth
- Tossed with cream sauce
- Baked with cheese
To prepare, bring a pot of lightly salted water to a gentle simmer. Carefully add the ravioles, ensuring they do not clump together. Cook for just a few minutes until they float to the surface and the pasta is tender. Drain them gently. They are often served immediately with melted butter, a light cream sauce, or a simple broth. For a richer dish, they can be layered with cheese and baked until golden and bubbly.

Compared to larger ravioli, Ravioles du Dauphiné are significantly smaller and have a thinner pasta casing. Their filling is typically simpler, focusing on the distinct flavor of regional cheeses, rather than a complex meat or vegetable blend. This makes them cook faster and absorb sauces more delicately.
