baked ravioli {vegan}

Have you ever tried to find vegan ravioli? How many of you have succeeded?

I, for one, have had a hard time of it. Ravioli is often vegetarian, but almost always made with cheese. And when it is not made with cheese or meat, the pasta has egg in it.

What's a vegan to do?

I was excited to find that La Pasta, a new pasta and sauce company, offers two kinds of vegan ravioli. And they can be purchased at two local grocers, Gristedes and Union Market, for those of you who reside in NYC.

The ravioli is really delicious. But the eggplant tomato sauce they sent is out of this world. Check it out.
