"To be fair, I'm a little mad at myself, too. I've been depriving myself of some S-tier Trader Joe's masterpieces for entirely too long. Usually, when I write rankings like this, ordering the products in question is a fairly straightforward task. Not so with this ravioli - when the quality gap between my "top" and "bottom" choices is so small, how am I supposed to begin parsing apart the minute differences between each?"
"Taking the unfortunate bottom spot in this ranking is Trader Joe's Spinach & Ricotta Raviolini, and not just because of its diminutive size (though that was certainly a player in ranking this last). The little pasta bundles are unashamedly adorable, and it wouldn't be hard to get even picky kiddos to latch onto this bite-sized treat, especially if you fried them up to serve as a snack."
A taste test evaluated 11 Trader Joe's ravioli varieties and ranked them primarily by flavor and surprise, with texture considered occasionally. Several ravioli delivered robust, unexpected flavors, while differences between top and bottom choices remained small. Spinach & Ricotta Raviolini placed last due to small size and underwhelming filling that prevented distinct taste, though the bite-sized bundles are visually appealing and work well as fried snacks for kids. Personal preference influenced the rankings alongside instances of standout flavor. Overall, most ravioli performed closely with only subtle distinctions separating them.
