Bertagni Sweet Butternut Squash Ravioli
What it is
These are fresh, pre-portioned pasta pockets filled with a sweet and savory blend of roasted butternut squash. The pasta dough is typically made with flour and eggs, creating a tender wrapper for the rich filling. Each raviolo is designed to be a delightful bite, offering a balance of sweetness from the squash and the subtle flavor of the pasta itself. They are a convenient way to enjoy a gourmet pasta dish at home.

To prepare, bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Gently add the ravioli, ensuring they do not stick together. Cook for approximately 3 to 5 minutes, or until the ravioli float to the surface and the pasta is tender. Carefully remove the cooked ravioli with a slotted spoon, draining any excess water. They are best served immediately with your favorite sauce or simply tossed with a little olive oil and herbs to let the squash filling shine.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike dried ravioli, these fresh pasta pockets have a softer texture and a more delicate flavor. The sweet butternut squash filling offers a distinct sweetness compared to traditional cheese or meat fillings, providing a unique taste profile that pairs well with lighter, herb-based sauces.

Refrigerate any unused ravioli immediately. Ensure they are stored in an airtight container or their original packaging to prevent them from drying out. Consume within 2 to 3 days for optimal freshness and quality. Proper storage helps maintain the texture of the pasta and the integrity of the filling.
