Veggie-Filled Pasta Pockets

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Trader Joe’s Seasonal Ravioli is Stuffed with Brussels Sprouts

— December 24, 2018 — Lifestyle
Brussels sprouts are one of the most beloved winter veggies and now consumers can enjoy them in a new way thanks to Trader Joe's seasonal ravioli.

Trader Joe’s new Brussels Sprouts & Caramelized Onion Ravioli is a festive winter take on one of the most popular comfort foods. To start, the Brussels sprouts and onions are broiled and caramelized to bring out their respective flavors. The veggies are then mixed with ricotta, mozzarella, fontina, and Parmesan cheese to create a creamy filling that is then sandwiched between two squares of green-tinted pasta dough. As Trader Joe's explains, with each bite of this seasonal ravioli "Your taste buds will be walking through a cheesy, nutty, slightly sweet winter wonderland."

Best of all, the only cooking required is five minutes in a pot of boiling water.
