The 4-Minute Aldi Luxury Dish That Feeds 2 People For Under $10 - Tasting Table

"Even those of us who love to whip up pasta for a quick meal can get pretty bored of spaghetti, mac and cheese, and baked ziti after the umpteenth time. Premade versions of fancy pastas like ravioli can be a quick fix, but there's always the nagging worry that the flavor will fall flat. If you head to Aldi, though, you can find a delicious, cheap, beautiful-looking gem that serves two people for around $5: the Priano Lobster Ravioli."

"Lobster is the first ingredient in the filling by amount, so you know these ravioli aren't short-charging you on shellfish. The pasta itself has a fetching yellow-and-red striped exterior made with natural colorants like tomato paste, so your dinner will look as upscale as it tastes. Even better, this refrigerated item is ready to eat after four minutes of boiling. It's just about the next best thing to homemade lobster ravioli."

Aldi sells Priano Lobster Ravioli for about $5 and each package serves two people. The refrigerated ravioli are filled with real lobster, ricotta, mozzarella, white wine, sherry, butter, cream, and spices, with lobster listed as the primary filling ingredient by amount. The pasta features yellow-and-red stripes colored with natural ingredients like tomato paste and cooks in four minutes. The package does not include a sauce, allowing for custom pairings. Shoppers praise the taste and sometimes buy in bulk due to Aldi's rotating inventory. Priano's Creamy Alfredo Sauce retails for about $2 and features aged-cheese and black-pepper notes.
