Buitoni and Impossible Foods created a new product for the refrigerated pasta category that features award-winning plant-based meat products. Available in two varieties, the pasta products include Impossible Beef Made From Plants and Impossible Italian Sausage Made From Plants. Both of these plant-based pastas are made with a three-cheese blend of ricotta, Grana Padano and Parmesan. While the Buitoni Ravioli with Impossible Beef mimics the taste and texture of real beef with a plant-based version plus basil and spices, the Buitoni Ravioli with Impossible Italian Sausage is enhanced with the flavors of fennel and garlic.
Tapping into the growing demand for refrigerated pasta, these products will help families easily replicate restaurant experiences at home.
