(Click for bigger pic)Today's vegetarian lunch: Stuffed-cheese ravioli with pesto sauce on top, Caesar salad and a piece of garlic bread on the side, from the Plaza View Cafe, the cafeteria in my office building. The piece of bread is half-covered with the Caesar salad, and so not clearly visible in the picture above. I added an orange to my meal.
The ravioli is a type of pasta. For my lunch special today, the ravioli was filled with cheese and baked. Then a pesto sauce was poured over it. It was a little too rich for me today, although at just under 5 bucks, it was still cheap money-wise!
Cost: $4.97 (includes tax and office discount), about 218.68 Indian Rupees.
Vegetarian alert: Although my lunch dish itself had no meat or eggs, the ravioli pasta might have been manufactured with egg. I think the Caesar salad dressing might have egg in it. Also, the usual warning about animal rennet in cheese applies.
Background: Vegetarian Lunch in America.

Hi,
ReplyDeleteI'm also "strict" vegetarian, and try to adhere to it as much as possible. For cheese Ravioli, eggs are used. So if you don't want to eat eggs, I don't think you can have ravioli.

Thanks for the comment, Nayan. You are right - ravioli pasta is usually made with eggs. In fact, when you order pasta outside, you can never be sure if the pasta noodle was not manufactured with eggs. You can be sure of the egg content, only if you buy uncooked pasta at the store and check the ingredients label yourself!
