FAQ

Can I use canned pumpkin?
Absolutely — just make sure it’s pure pumpkin purée, not pie filling.

Is it gluten‑free?
Use Taste Republic gluten‑free ravioli or your favorite GF brand.

Can I make it dairy‑free?

Notes

I used Butcherbox chicken and mozarella ravioli to keep it high protein. You can use your favorite ravioli, and add your own protein to the sauce. Shredded chicken would be a great touch.

For strictly gluten free I love Taste Republic brand ravioli.

For dairy free I like Kite Hill ravioli
