Sure, you can cook corned beef and cabbage or even drink a green beer on St. Patrick’s Day, but we wanted to let you know that Costco is at it again with its holiday-themed ravioli. Yep, that means shamrock ravioli is making a comeback for St. Paddy’s Day 2020!
As everyone’s favorite Irish holiday draws near, we know you have a lot of products vying for your attention. McDonald’s Shamrock Shakes are back, and now there’s also a DQ Mint Oreo Blizzard. Aldi has even gotten into the act this year with five new Irish-inspired cheeses!
How Can You Choose?
Why not go for the reliable choice? Costco has already proven itself with red-and-white heart-shaped ravioli for Valentine’s Day.
Instagram account Costco Buys had the scoop on the shamrock ravioli. Turns out, it’s even cheesier than the Valentine’s version. The clover-shaped pasta come in grass green and white, and is stuffed with shredded mozzarella, creamy ricotta, white cheddar, Parmesan and imported Irish aged cheddar for an extra kick!
This is their delicious traditional 5-cheese ravioli…yes please! ($9.79, item no. 1205033)
The Nuovo brand pasta comes in 20-ounce two-packs, and since it’s priced under 10 bucks ($9.79), you can feed a crowd, no problem. The package promises a recipe for Irish vodka sauce, so either try that out or opt for our vodka sauce recipe instead.
Put shamrock-shaped ravioli on your shopping list, but before you go, check out our collection of items you aren’t (yet) buying at Costco and add a few of those, too.
