It’s been a while since I posted about #MeatlessMonday. Frederick and I went through a 3-week meatless diet in late January. It was hard and awful, not because we were craving for meats, but because I lacked ideas on what to cook. Pasta or ramen will always be a good solution, though. Especially when it is all about spinach and cheese ravioli. Yum!
Have you heard of La Pasta Inc? La Pasta is about healthy and all-natural products. They use whole, fresh ingredients in their kitchen and cook like we would in ours. We love their products so much that we always have some at home.
And today, I’m going to show you how to make and easy and quick Spinach & Cheese Ravioli using La Pasta. The best part, it’s gluten-free ravioli so you can alter the pesto sauce to your diet.
I love La Pasta for a bunch of reasons, but mainly because they do not use any flavor enhancers and no hard-to-pronounce ingredients. Their foods are simple, original, all-natural foods. They also cater to special diet foods by producing a line of gluten-free pasta and vegan ravioli.
We were allowed to sample their gluten-free Spinach & Cheese ravioli. I also made some jalapeno pesto and arugula to go with the ravioli. It was so delicious. Nothing beats fresh pasta made only from the finest ingredients. If you love Italian food and prefer healthy, tasty, fresh food, La Pasta is the answer.
