Making Our Products
I've got allergies, which products are safe to eat?
Please see product pages for individual product allergen information. Allergen information will also be available on products labels.
Do you have vegetarian or vegan options?
Yes lots! On the All products page go to the category drop down in the top left and select either vegetarian or vegan.
Where do you source your ingredients?
High quality fillings is at the core of what we do and so we endeavour to source locally. All our meat & eggs are from local farms and Veg / Cheese where possible.
Why do you freeze the pasta?
All RaviOllie pasta is flash frozen within minutes of being prepared. This locks in flavour and keeps the pasta soft - unlike supermarket pasta whichis often dried out by the packaging process.
Cooking and Serving RaviOllie Pasta
How long does it take to cook?
The ravioli cooks from frozen in just 4 minutes so you can be sitting down to eat in 5 if you are moving fast!
Bring a pan of water to the boil and add 1 tsp salt to the water. Drop ravioli into the water and replace the lid on the pan. Cook ravioli for 4 minutes on a gentle rolling boil stirring occasionally to prevent any ravioli sticking to the pan.
Should I defrost it before eating?
No. Unfortunately this will ruin the structure of the pasta and it may result in it coming apart in the water when cooking.
Can I eat it plain?
Our ravioli has high quality ingredients that taste great simply cooked and served, so there's no need to add any extras if you don't want to. Adding a drizzle of olive oil or a knob of butter makes them even tastier with minimal effort. We also make flavoured oils and butters that complement our recipes.
Do you have any good suggestions to make it more of a fancy meal?
Yes! We have a recipe blog with lots of ideas for simple sauces and toppings to take your ravioli to the next level. You'll also find serving tips for each filling on their product pages, and printed on the label.

Why are your delivery charges so high for a small order?
