Okay, so one afternoon hubby and I were absolutely starving and couldn’t agree on anything, so we decided to head to our local smaller version of Whole Foods. (I am not mentioning their name because it’s truly a last resort as they are rude, difficult to deal with and slow slow slow…its the opposite of Whole Foods in every way.) Anywho…hubby got his brown rice sushi and I headed to the frozen section. Not sure what I ended up with that night, but I decided to grab some Rising Moon Organics ravioli as they make some killer vegan raviolis. I also LOVE that they label very clearly, with the pretty ‘V’ in a heart on the front of their packages. This saves me time, and disappointment in shopping.
So, as I was grabbing this, I saw ‘Organic Stuffed Shells: Made with Organic “Primacotta” Soy Ricotta & Organic Pasta.’ Well let me just say that when I saw the happy pretty little ‘V’ in a heart on the front I snatched that bad boy up. My hopes were very high, especially since I had not delighted in any kind of ricotta or stuffed shells with ‘cheesy-ness’ since prior to being vegan. I was super excited, and though they were a bit pricey, I think it was $5.99 and it’s pretty much just a microwave meal, I couldn’t wait to endeavor on these.
One day I was running late for work, days later, and had totally forgotten about my shells. I grabbed them, along with a Whole Foods Whole Wheat Mini-Pita, and I headed to work. By lunch time, I was not only hungry, I was anticipating my stuffed shells. I had serious doubts that the texture, flavor and general truly deliciousness of non-vegan stuffed shells could be replicated. People…Rising Moon Organics did it. Oh yeah they did. Not only was the texture spot on, the flavor was so incredible. I honestly don’t care if they are $10 each I am having this once a month. It is SO good. And the sauce that comes with it, delish. I am SUPER picky about tomato based sauces, and pasta sauces, because my Mom made THE best sauce and I always felt like any microwave meals or restaurants always disappointed compared. This did not. The flavor was fresh and without some chemical aftertaste. It is more than worthwhile, I am telling you NOW go find this stuff. Go try out the brand. I have had everything vegan of theirs that I can find, and it’s all been well worth it!
Now if you’re a skeptic, I encourage you even moreso…go…now…find you some of these shells. Just look at them. Oh they are GOOD!
