Made by an expert pasta supplier in Italy, Trader Joe's new Spinach & Ricotta Raviolini are expertly designed to keep the maximum amount of filling inside each tiny pasta pillow. In fact, each Raviolini boasts 50% pasta and 50% filling, which is a rare patio in the pasta world. The filling consists of a creamy combination of [ricotta and mozzarella cheeses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cassata-baked-ricotta-cheese), along with spinach in a garlicky bechamel sauce. This filling is encased inside a delicate pasta made from egg and durum-wheat flour dough. The result is a pasta so delicious that all you need is a little Extra Virgin Olive Oil and a sprinkle of Parmigiano Reggiano and dinner is served.
