HelloFresh’s Creamy Lemon Spinach Ricotta Ravioli contains few ingredients and no proteins. So, why is this a member of the exclusive Hall of Fame category – and does it deserve it? R&R takes a closer look.
Prep, Cooking and Cleanup
The total meal time listed on the card is pretty accurate. Prep and cleanup were quick and easy, and the overwhelming majority of time spent on completing this meal was related to cooking. However, the near hour spent was more than worth it in the end.
Ingredients & Sauces
Delicious. Our favorite HelloFresh meal’s are those where simple ingredients yield a perfect complimentary sauce. The ravioli was of higher quality with great texture and filling (still not comparable to homemade – but the brand was on the higher end of manufactured pastas). We also can’t forget to mention the roasted red pepper, which really helped balance the overall flavor profile of the meal.
Taste
Fresh. Complimentary. Light. Simple. Delicious. This is a unique Italian-style dish that you’ll just want to continue eating. All of the ingredients made sense and nothing felt like it didn’t belong in the dish. The only addition we made was a dash of crushed red pepper to bring some needed spice.
Rating
HelloFresh’s Creamy Lemon Spinach Ricotta Ravioli rightfully deserves its spot in the Hall of Fame category. We were skeptical of selecting this option when we came across it, as we usually tend to opt for meals that include a protein (and if they don’t, we usually add our own). However, it did not need a one and it resulted in our favorite Italian dish offered by HelloFresh that we’ve tried yet. Perfectly balanced, simple & delicious – this is one that you need to add to your cart the next time it’s available.
We love being informed on everything, and we want you to be as well. Make sure to check out our catalog of other individual HelloFresh meal reviews!
