Foodd Club Spinach & Cheese Ravioli
What it is
These are pre-made pasta pockets filled with a blend of spinach and cheese. The pasta itself is typically made from durum wheat flour and eggs, giving it a tender yet firm texture when cooked. The filling combines the earthy flavor of cooked spinach with the creamy, slightly tangy taste of cheese, often a mix of ricotta and Parmesan. They are designed for quick and easy meal preparation, offering a satisfying and flavorful pasta dish with minimal effort.

To prepare, bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Carefully add the ravioli, ensuring they do not stick together. Stir gently to prevent them from adhering to the bottom of the pot. Cook for the time indicated on the package, usually around 5-7 minutes, or until the ravioli float to the surface and the pasta is tender. Drain them carefully, reserving a little pasta water. Combine with your favorite sauce and serve immediately. A splash of the reserved pasta water can help the sauce cling better.
