Other commenters who were intrigued by Trader Joe’s latest return to the pasta section were quick to pile onto the joke, with some claiming that the raviolis “look like kidneys.” Others even admitted to thinking they were looking at a “bag full of ears.”
Not all feedback resulted in jokes, however, and if you look at a popular Reddit post from last year regarding the classic Italian ravioli, plenty of shoppers sang their praises for the dish, calling it “amazing” and even claiming it to be their “new favorite TJ’s meal.”
In any case, if you’re brave enough to stomach the odd resemblance of body parts and give Ricotta Cuoricini Ravioli a shot, it seems as though you will be pleasantly surprised by the results. One experienced shopper even recommended topping the ravioli’s with TJ’s Heavenly Hash and sautéing with butter and garlic for an elevated dinner experience, but the sky is truly the limit with this traditional Italian meal.
