7 Grocery Chains That Shoppers Say Serve Restaurant-Quality Pasta

As delicious as homemade pasta is, whipping up a meal from scratch isn't always practical. That's where pre-made pasta comes in. It's a simple no-fuss solution to a quick tasty meal. Plus, who doesn't love the convenience? While it's easily accessible to pick up at your local grocer, not all store-bought pastas are worth space in your fridge.

Nobody wants to eat a mediocre meal, but with so many options it's hard to know which ones are worthy of your hard earned money and time. Although pasta is an easy dish to prepare, not all grocery chain pastas are top quality. To help navigate your way through countless choices, we've scoured through hundreds of online reviews to pick out the best pre-made pastas that rival restaurants, according to shoppers that are ranked in order of unhealthy to healthiest.

Sprouts Spinach & Mushroom Ravioli Fresh Filled Pasta

Sprouts Spinach & Mushroom Ravioli Fresh Filled Pasta is a vegan option that reviewers say is "delicious." While it makes the list as top quality, it's also the unhealthiest due to the high calories and sodium, which serves as a great reminder that not everything plant based is good for you. But it sure tastes great, according to shoppers.

On Sprouts website, one shopper wrote, "I love this Ravioli. It's accidentally Vegan! It's not labeled as Vegan Plant Based, but I read the ingredients multiple times and it is Plant Based. Delicious! I eat it sometimes with Carbone Marinara and sometimes with just a little garlic plant butter."

Another shared, "This ravioli is really delicious. I made it with a simple vegan cream sauce and green peas. I will definitely buy it again!"

Whole Foods Grilled Chicken & Parmesan

Whole Foods is infamous for its hot bar and premade foods and their Grilled Chicken & Parmesan tops the list of must-haves, per reviews. It's high in protein and fiber, but for those watching their salt intake, think twice about this pasta.

According to the Lunchtime Review, the meal is "not dry at all." It's also "very tender and fresh" while both the chicken and pasta are cooked "perfectly.'

Meanwhile an Amazon shopper says it's"Delicious… wholefoods does a fine job with all products from what I have experienced."
