KITCHEN厨房日记: Raviolli in Carbonara Sauce

We love to go Jaya Grocer in Empire Gallery, to window shop! There are plenty of imported high grade goods, from fresh food to frozen food, snacks, and dried ingredients, at a higher price of course. And this time, we bought a packet of Raviolli and baby sprouts. 

I had this very nice Raviolli in a buffet dinner at Hotel Renaissance, KL and damn, how I wish I can eat it again. The meat fillings are very juicy and the tomato sauce is perfect. Upon finding this packet of fresh Raviolli by San Remo in Jaya Grocer, it brought back my memories and hence we decided to cook it for our dinner.

However, somebody dislikes tomato sauce and threatens that he would not eat it, if I'm cooking the Raviolli in tomato sauce. So, we opted for Prego Carbonara sauce. And man, how I adore these baby sprouts! They look so cute and I just can't stop smiling looking at them!

Alas, it didn't reach my expectation. The fillings in the Raviolli taste much like herbal paste to me. The Carbonara sauce is too salty. And the baby sprouts are a bit bitter. Awwh...Feel so sorry to him, for he has to eat these...

Then, I realize, these Raviolli I bought are actually vegetable Raviolli! The fillings inside are made of dried vegetable paste, no wonder the taste & texture are so much different! Would be more careful next time when I choose Raviolli. Or worst, not to buy and cook it myself!
