This Lemon Ricotta Ravioli is a fresh, vibrant twist on traditional pasta dishes. The sauce is a creamy fusion of lemon juice, garlic, butter, and white wine, infused with ricotta and Parmesan for richness. Each bite of the Trader Joe's lemon ricotta ravioli is coated in this luscious, tangy sauce that balances creaminess with citrusy brightness. Perfect for a light yet indulgent dinner, it’s a simple dish that bursts with flavor and elegance.

Tips & Tricks (5)

  • Pasta Water Magic 💧
    Always reserve a cup of starchy pasta water before draining - it's the secret to creating a silky, emulsified sauce that perfectly coats the ravioli.
  • Lemon Zest Technique 🍋
    Grate lemon zest directly over the dish just before serving to maximize the bright, aromatic citrus oils and enhance the overall flavor profile.
  • Butter Mounting Mastery 🧈
    Add cold butter in small cubes off the heat, whisking constantly to create a luxurious, glossy sauce that clings perfectly to the ravioli.
  • Wine Reduction Technique 🍷
    When adding white wine, let it reduce by at least half to concentrate flavors and eliminate any harsh alcohol notes before adding other sauce ingredients.
  • Ricotta Texture Tip 🧀
    Drain ricotta in a fine-mesh strainer for 15 minutes before using to remove excess moisture and ensure a creamy, not watery, sauce consistency.
