“I cut it open gingerly… Oddly, it did smell a bit like ginger, although among the 30-plus ingredients listed, ginger was not one of them… I held my breath and waited for a moist cloud of steam to waft out and burn my fingers as I clipped the top of the bag with a scissors, but nothing happened…
I peered into the plastic bag in disbelief and timidly poked a buttery yellow raviolone with my finger only to find that it was barely warm although the broth had melted and the solids had been partially cooked… So I ladled half a serving into a bowl and put it back in the microwave for about a minute-and-a-half: during which it was of course, almost overcooked….
But it was great… The raviolone, which with my amateur understanding of Italian sounded like it would be a miniaturized version of basic ravioli were gigantic (I should have been thinking in terms of “calzone” or “Zamboni”) cushions of pasta dough with a creamy mushroom filling… The broth, which to me is the big deal in any soup, only comprised about a third of the volume of the dish, but it was very flavorful and satisfying… I was satisfied with my one 340 calorie serving and put the leftovers away with nary a glance… Until I enhaled the remainder the next day at lunch…”
