When it comes to pasta, the possibilities are as far as the eye can see! You can mix and match different types of pasta, sauces, meats, cheeses and veggies to create wildly different recipes for everyone to enjoy. But, did you know that ravioli boasts a similar variety? You can’t be as flexible with ravioli as you could with base pasta, but you have full control over what you put inside of it! So, what are the best foods to stuff your ravioli with? We’ve highlighted some of our favorites below!

Cheese

One of the best – and most obvious – foods that you can put in ravioli is cheese. Cheese is by far the most popular ravioli stuffer, and for good reason; cheese and pasta pair perfectly together! You can also switch up which kind of cheese you use to mix and match your flavors. You can go the simple route and just add ricotta, or you could be fancy and try a four-cheese ravioli recipe! With so many varieties of one ingredient, it’s easy to see why cheese is a popular addition.

Lobster

Many great seafood restaurants also have a sizable selection of pasta, and one of the most beloved items on that side of the menu is lobster ravioli. Like the lobster roll, putting it in your ravioli helps to minimize the mess and the stress that comes with eating a full lobster. Lobster ravioli works great with many types of sauce, and the richness of the lobster inside speaks volumes to its growing popularity over the years.

Spinach

Ravioli is a tasty pasta dish, but it may not be the most desirable option for those looking to watch their calorie intake. That is, until spinach ravioli became a staple! If you’re looking for the great taste of ravioli with an improvement in health benefits that it offers, simply add a bit of spinach to it. You can add a small amount of cheese as well to help increase the richness of the flavor, but it isn’t a necessity by any means.
