Conte's frozen cheese ravioli - yum!

January 9, 2009

Awhile back I had posted looking for some frozen ravioli as my

attempts to make it from scratch have been disastrous. I'm originally

from upstate NY and am a big time ravioli lover and have been going

through serious withdrawal since going GF a year ago. I finally broke

down and ordered a bunch of Conte's products from glutenfreemall.com

(you have to order a bunch to make the additional $39 dry ice cooler

be cost effective). Last night we tried the cheese ravioli and it was

very good. It does contain egg and dairy for those with those

sensitivities (sorry). I plan to approach the Whole Foods in Cupertino

about carrying it (or at least see if they can special order it as I

see some Whole Foods back east carry it). It is expensive - one bag is

about $10 which feeds 2-3 (12 oz) but at least for me, being a big

time ravioli lover, it is worth it as an occassional treat and I'm

already conditioned to pay through the nose for GF fare. Who knows,

maybe with Whole Foods buying in bulk it could be cheaper than the

glutenfreemall price.

At any rate, I thought I'd post this review. I tried the cheese

ravioli last night but also bought some spinach and cheese ravioli

plus lasagna and pizza. I didn't see when I ordered originally

but they also have gnocchi and pierogies so next time I'll be ordering

that as well. It would be so cool if local restaurants could stock

this in their freezers so we could get ravioli at restaurants too but

one step at a time :-).

Also, a quick poll so I can pass this onto Whole Foods - would you

purchase a $10 bag of frozen ravioli? And if not, what would be the

sweet spot price-wise that would make it a regular staple in your home?
