Valentine's Heart Ravioli: Creamy Cheese Filling*

A special, cute and fun dinner entree that we offer only for the weeks leading up to Valentine's Day. These heart-shaped creamy ravioli are filled with a ricotta and pecorino cheese blend and come with a side of shredded parmesan cheese, blush (or marinara) sauce, and a ciabatta bread with garlic butter.  They cook from frozen in only 2-4 minutes!   18 ravioli: half, 36 ravioli: full

Note:  we have 2 heart ravioli vendors- 1 that has white ravioli and 1 that has red & white ravioli. Both are equally delicious. Supplier #1 (all white ravioli) was able to get the ravioli to us first, so once that is used we'll move to the red & white (likely late January into February). 

note: the red color comes from natural annatto and turmeric (not artificial colors!)
