Toncini Modern Italian

03/28/2025

We’ve re-stocked our locally made Toncini Modern ravioli and now the conundrum is which one to eat first?! Will it be the beef short rib ravioli? The lemon and ricotta? Truffle?
Plan your weekend dinner with great ingredients from Trulli Italian !

Something rather magical happened when these three items were put to use in our kitchen last night. Prawns were sautéed and tossed with pistachio pesto (NEW ITEM!) and served on top of Lemon & Ricotta Ravioli with a generous drizzle of Lemon EVOO.
It disappeared far too quickly to take a photo. 😂
