Anyone who loves Buitoni 4-Cheese Ravioli as much as I do can most likely empathize when I say that I wasn't looking forward to giving this delicious product up for 4 months. I eat this stuff like it's my job - I buy it in bulk and consume all of it pretty much before I reach home from HEB. Basically, I love Buitoni and anyone who has ever tried it can attest to how amazing it is.
Despite the fact that I'm in Italy, the pasta capital of the world, I was beginning to wish that I could just buy some American-style Buitoni pasta to cook at home as I meandered down the aisles of the grocery store here. I saw tons of fancy-looking, authentic Italian pasta, and all I wanted to see was that ubiquitous red and green Buitoni label.
Then...suddenly...as I was nearing the end of the pasta aisle, I saw it: a package of green and red Buitoni 4-Cheese Ravioli was literally right in front of me. I rushed to pick it up as if it'd be gone at any moment and immediately brought it home, cooked it, and ate it.
Needless to say, this has easily been one of the best days of my life. It turns out that Buitoni pasta here is the ORIGINAL Buitoni. Same company, better ingredients, better pasta (like the Papa John's slogan). This ravioli was awe-inspiring. This is probably the pasta that Michaelangelo ate that inspired him to go sculpt David. It's probably what da Vinci ate before he went and painted the Mona Lisa. It satiated my craving for the Buitoni I had left at home, but it simultaneously opened my eyes to how much better the food here is. I can't wait to go back to the grocery store and stock up.
