Pizza Hut's 3-Cheese Ravioli

Ravioli is a type of filled pasta composed of a filling sealed with a two layers of thin pasta dough.  I was always curious to eat a ravioli. This type of pasta is not the type of pasta I grew up eating.  I would only see this in food network and cooking shows in lifestyle network.  This type of dish is served in fine dining restaurants or authentic Italian restaurants in the metro.  

Good thing Pizza Hut has new offerings of pasta dishes.  Pizza Hut's Specialty Pasta includes the 3-cheese ravioli. The pasta is filled with mozzarella, parmesan and cream cheese. Thus, the name 3-cheese ravioli!  This dish is tossed in tomato-based sauce with pesto cream.  Sounds yummy right? As soon as I saw this dish from their menu, I instantly knew I will order it.  And so, I did.  

The 3-cheese ravioli melted in my mouth instantly at my first bite.  I so love pesto on my pasta so this is a plus point for me.  However, the tomato sauce was a bit too "Italian" for me. Meaning, it was too sour for my taste bud.  I like my tomato sauce to be sweet just like me :-)  So as not to waste my Php 165, I finished all the ravioli on my plate and left out the tomato sauce.  I used the excess tomato sauce to dip my garlic bread (or so I thought), which is a bit bland if you eat it just as is. 

My first ravioli experience was satisfying though it is not something that I would go back and order again.   I ordered it to satisfy my curiosity and that was just it.  If Pizza Hut could only make their tomato sauce to be more Pinoy-like then I would probably order this dish over and over again.  The 3-cheese ravioli itself was good as well as the pesto cream.  I just did not like the tomato sauce.  Maybe it was just me, but for those who are used to an "Italian" sour-style sauce, then you should try this one out yourself and let me know what you think about this dish.  As my mama would always say before I eat, Happy Eating!
