Butternut squash is a type of winter squash, but it’s something we’d happily eat year-round. It has a creamy, comforting flavor that makes it perfect in all kinds of dishes. We also love a good bowl of ravioli, which is why we thought the Marie Callender’s Brown Butter Butternut Squash Ravioli Bowl might be up our alley.
Although this box is fairly large, the dish inside is a bit smaller. This is definitely a meal made for one person! Peeling the plastic film off this dish isn’t exactly easy, but heating it up is pretty simple. We popped it in the microwave for three minutes, gave it a good stir, and then heated it for a smidge longer.
As you can see in the image above, the brown butter sauce is on the thin side. This almost looks like ravioli soup! The sauce thickens up slightly when the dish cools, but even then, it’s pretty runny. You can expect to have a lot of sauce left sitting in the bowl after this dish is done.
The ravioli itself is pretty alright. It’s a little on the sweet side — there are 11 grams of sugar in this, and it shows — but it’s still pretty easy to eat. Even though this isn’t bad, we think other frozen ravioli dishes are substantially better. The soupy sauce, sugary ravioli, and mushy chunks of carrot are all tolerable, but there are more pleasant ways to satisfy your butternut squash cravings.
The Marie Callender’s Brown Butter Butternut Squash Ravioli Bowl is fine if you don’t have other options, but we’d recommend picking up something else from the freezer aisle if you can. This ravioli is loaded with sugar, and it’s really only so-so. We think butternut squash is typically delicious, and we’re happy to eat it without sweeteners, thank you very much!
