Author’s Note: Not a paid review. These are my own weird little opinions. I have no affiliation with Costco<\/a> or Scoiattolo<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don\u2019t overwhelm the truffle magic.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Spoiler alert: I like these ravioli. They\u2019re tasty, flavorful, delicate, and quick to prepare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There. Now you don\u2019t have to read the rest of this review.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oh, you\u2019re still here? You want to read more? OK then, buckle up. My brain wants to ramble, and I\u2019ve just fed it some coffee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I found these imported Italian truffle ravioli<\/a> at my local Costco, and I took a leap of faith. Well, the ravioli took a leap…into my shopping cart. And my credit card took a leap out of my wallet, to pay. More about the price later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anyway. All the leaping had a happy ending. These are ravishing ravioli!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Well, not before cooking. Here\u2019s an uncooked ravioli from the package. I guess I would call this \u201csemi-fresh\u201d pasta. The ravioli boil in three minutes, which is wicked-quick.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ravioli shells are made from delicate egg pasta. It\u2019s just the right balance of tender, yet al dente<\/a> structure. The filling is not soggy or too soft, but holds a satisfying shape. There are breadcrumbs mixed into the cheese and truffle-stuff, which gives it more body. There\u2019s enough sharp, cheesy taste to be delicious, but not so much that the truffle magic is overwhelmed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(For an even “cheesier” pasta option, check out my review of Costco’s Five Cheese Tortelloni<\/a>.)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking of that truffle magic, it is<\/em> magic. The flavor is rich and decadent. I still haven\u2019t found a good way to describe truffle flavor, but it is the kind of taste that makes my brain cells wiggle for joy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"A<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

So we\u2019ve established that I like truffle flavor. In fact, apparently I like it better than pesto flavor. I tried these truffle ravioli with Costco\u2019s Kirkland Pesto<\/a>, but found it drowned out the delicate truffle taste too much. I preferred these tossed in butter \u2014 sometimes simple is<\/em> best. The package also recommended tossing in butter (or olive oil), so I should have listened! Duh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The good news is, butter makes these simpler and quicker to prepare, and negates the need to purchase an additional sauce.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are real Summer Truffles<\/a> in these ravioli, but there is also \u201cNatural Flavor.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
