What You Should Know

You'd spot this in the refrigerated prepared pasta case at Whole Foods, often grabbed for a quick Italian dinner or a cozy weekend meal. It feels artisanal and comforting — a homemade-style filled pasta that leans on convenience rather than heavy indulgence. The short ingredient list (durum semolina, eggs, water) and likely factory shaping suggest a tender, fresh-pasta texture without the long additive lists typical of ultra-processed foods.
