In fact, Meatless Farm is launching its newest products as the first plant-based meat-filled pastas in the UK. There are two savory varieties available, Beef, Red Wine & Porcini Mushroom Girasole and No-Duja Ravioli, both of which are a source of protein and easy to prepare in about five minutes. Additionally, these [plant-based filled pastas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/white-rabbit-girasoli-pasta-range) are low in sugar, making them appealing to more than just consumers who require or prefer meatless options.
