Filled pasta that doesn't use veined/blue cheese?

earthmother

I'm looking for a filled pasta (tortellini/ravioli...), with a cheese-only recipe (no meat or added herbs/veg) that doesn't use a blue or veined cheese.

DH is picky, and this is the only pasta he likes - we've had it from the Co-op for a while, but they seem to have discontinued it, locally at least. We tried Morrisons version, and he came out in hives. On checking the ingredients, it appears to have a blue cheese in, and we think this was the cause.

Can anyone suggest/recommend the best place/variety to try again?

Thanks - but as I said, he won't touch anything with veg or herbs - and that has both.

Another idea that you might like to try if time is not an issue, is to make your own filling and you could use fresh lasagne sheets to make ravioli.
That way you know exactly what is in the filling.

I found the same asda tortellini too when I was searching for the OP, but it lists gorgonzola as one of the cheeses, which they are trying to avoid.

Could you not just cook ordinary plain pasta then add grated/cubed cheese of you choice?

Aldi, or Lidl, I'm not sure which did a nice one I don't think it had blue cheese in it. Maybe someone will be going into one & can take a look. When I go in next will take a look but it maybe a couple of weeks.
Just remembered buying some from sainsburys as well http://www.sainsburys.co.uk/groceries/index.jsp

If you make you own, you won't have a problem and can mix the ingredients to suit tastes. Make large batches and try freezing some if you're not going to use it straight away.

Thank you everyone - I'll take a look in Sainsburys when I'm next that way. Making our own sounds like a good idea, but I wouldn't know where to start - are there any easy recipes/instructions?

The link below shows you how to fold it into the tortellini shapes....

Here is another recipe that explains how to make the dough, but if your not keen on that idea then use fresh lasagne sheets.... if you scroll down there is also a recipe for the filling which i'm sure you could modify to suit your needs
