Ravioli is an immensely comforting food, but for those avoiding dairy, finding versions free from the usual cheese and cream fillings can be a surprisingly tricky quest—but Shire's Naturals offers a trio of rich, creamy Dairy-Free Ravioli products that are quick-cooking and packed with both protein and flavor. The simplest of the bunch, Dairy-Free Cheese Ravioli, lets the brand's signature dairy-free cheese alternative shine in tender pasta for a hearty, ready-in-six-minutes dish that delivers 10 grams of plant protein per serving.
Shire's Naturals also offers well-seasoned Dairy-Free Roasted Garlic & Cheese Ravioli and Dairy-Free Spinach & Cheese Ravioli, all of which are vegan-friendly, freshly made, and built around a simple, flavorful filling of water, non-GMO cashews, Himalayan pink salt and cultures.
