Let’s Talk Pasta Travola
Pasta Travola is an Ontario-based pasta company focusing on bringing delicious pasta recipes straight from Nonna herself. Victoria and Paula now have six different kinds of ravioli and three sauces available in over 100 stores across Canada! From classic four-cheese to vegan sausage and fennel (yes, vegan), Pasta Travola has you covered to enjoy a delicious Italian-inspired dish that makes you feel like Nonna made it herself.Â

My favourite part about their products are that they’re made with simple ingredients. What you think will be in your ravioli and sauce is exactly what’s actually in it. As an Italian myself, I was taken aback by the quality of the ingredients and just couldn’t put my fork down even if I tried! For this recipe, I wanted to test their plant-based options and go with the sausage & fennel. When I tell you, you won’t miss the meat- you literally cannot tell the difference, I was floored. If you’re craving ravioli and want a vegan option, this is a MUST-TRY!

Tips for the Perfect Vegan Ravioli
- Take the skin off your roma tomatoes before cooking them (or don't). I didn't but if you don't want the skin in your sauce just blanche them first!
- Your fresh tomatoes are going to need some time to cook! Give them at least a 10 minute head start before your canned tomatoes.
- Cook your pasta as per the packaging! Pasta Travola recommends 8 minutes for their plant-based pasta, it makes a difference if you cut it short.
What to Serve with Vegan Ravioli & Tomato Sauce
When it comes to serving up a delicious vegan ravioli recipe, the right sides can elevate your meal to a whole new level of flavor and satisfaction. First off, consider a vibrant salad bursting with fresh greens, cherry tomatoes, and a zesty vinaigrette for a refreshing contrast. Roasted vegetables like asparagus, bell peppers, or broccoli add a delightful crunch and extra nutrients.

For a heartier option, go with garlic bread or a crusty baguette to soak up those savoury sauces. If you’re feeling a bit fancy, a creamy vegan mushroom sauce on the side can complement your vegan ravioli beautifully. Don’t forget to garnish with some fresh basil or parsley for that final touch of pizzazz. Your vegan ravioli feast is sure to impress with these delectable side choices!

Storage & Leftovers
Storing leftover vegan ravioli is a snap. Just pop them in an airtight container and toss them in the fridge to preserve those delicious flavors. They’ll keep well for a few days, and when you’re ready to enjoy them again, gently reheat in a pan with a smidge of butter or olive oil to maintain that delightful tenderness. Feeling adventurous? Add them to a salad or soup for a fresh take on leftovers. With vegan ravioli, even reheating is a culinary delight!
