Heart-Shaped Valentine's Day Pastas

Trader Joe's Ricotta Cuoricini Ravioli is Extra-Cheesy

Trader Joe's Ricotta Cuoricini Ravioli has been debuted by the grocer as one of its latest private label products that's perfect for helping consumers to cost-effectively celebrate Valentine's Day from home this year.

The pasta consists of red-hued ravioli that are formed into the shape of hearts and filled with ricotta cheese and parmigiana reggiano cheese. The pasta is also pried with a touch of balsamic vinegar sourced from Modena, Italy to further complete the flavor profile and will work well with a variety of sauces to work well for discerning restaurant fans alike.

The Trader Joe's Ricotta Cuoricini Ravioli is positioned as great for Valentine's Day, but will also be on offer for Mother's Day as a sweet, delicious way to treat moms this spring.
