About Toasted ravioli

Toasted ravioli, a quintessential appetizer originating from St. Louis, Missouri, is a savory Italian-American dish consisting of breaded, deep-fried pasta pockets often filled with cheese or meat. Typically served warm with marinara sauce for dipping, toasted ravioli offers a comforting flavor and texture profile. Nutritionally, the composition depends on the filling and preparation. On average, a serving (4-5 pieces) contains approximately 250-300 calories, 10-15 grams of protein, 10-12 grams of fat, and moderate carbohydrate content. While it provides some vitamins such as B-complex (from the pasta and filling) and minerals like calcium (from cheese), it is also higher in sodium due to seasoning and sauces used during preparation.

Health Benefits

• Provides protein for muscle repair and growth, especially if the filling contains cheese or meat, supplying about 10-15 grams of protein per serving.
• Calcium content from cheese contributes to bone health, with approximately 150-200 mg per serving depending on the filling.
• Supplies B-vitamins (such as thiamine and riboflavin) from enriched pasta, which support energy metabolism in the body.

Dietary Considerations

Allergens: Contains wheat, milk, eggs, soy (if used in breading)

Not suitable for: Gluten-free, vegan (unless prepared with plant-based alternatives), dairy-free

Selection and Storage

Common Questions About Toasted ravioli Nutrition

Is toasted ravioli high in protein?

Toasted ravioli typically contains a moderate amount of protein, with about 6-8 grams per serving (5-6 pieces), depending on the filling. Protein primarily comes from the cheese or meat inside, making it a decent option to incorporate protein into your meal.

Can I eat toasted ravioli on a keto diet?

Toasted ravioli is not suitable for a keto diet as it is made with pasta dough that is high in carbohydrates, typically around 30-40 grams per serving. Keto diets focus on low-carb intake, so this food would not fit within the recommended daily macros.

Are there any health concerns with eating toasted ravioli?

Toasted ravioli is often deep-fried or breaded, contributing to higher calories (around 250-350 per serving) and saturated fat. Regular consumption may not be ideal for individuals watching their calorie or fat intake, especially if fried in oil. Opting for baked versions can reduce some health concerns.

What is a recommended serving size for toasted ravioli?

A typical recommended serving size is 5-6 pieces, which provides about 250-350 calories depending on preparation and filling. Pairing toasted ravioli with a side salad or steamed vegetables is a balanced way to enjoy it as part of a meal.

How does toasted ravioli compare to traditional ravioli?

Toasted ravioli is breaded and either baked or fried, giving it a crispy texture and higher calorie and fat content compared to traditional boiled ravioli. While traditional ravioli is often served with sauce, toasted ravioli is usually served as an appetizer with marinara dipping sauce for added flavor.
