If you're looking for a dinner that's quick to make, but doesn't sacrifice flavor, Trader Joe's new Italian Tomato & Burrata Ravioloni is just what you need.
Trader Joe's new Italian Tomato & Burrata Ravioloni is a premium take on traditional fresh ravioli. The new dish features supersized pieces of ravioloni pasta (ravioli’s larger, but just as craveable cousin) filled with a delicious duo of creamy burrata cheese and a trio of tomatoes (crushed, roasted, and dried). There's also a big of mozzarella, butter, breadcrumbs, and a bit of basil paste stuffed in there as well for added flavor and texture. Even more exciting, Trader Joe's has used tomato powder and spinach to dye the pasta different colors so one side of each Ravioloni is red and the other is green. In other words, you get a meal that's as beautiful to look at as it is to eat.
