Yes, but dairy filled pasta would have a use-by not a best before. Given ricotta is a soft cheese it could be quite dangerous to eat it more than a week after the use by.

True, but this stuff had a Best Before date.

Cornucopia

Indeed, we already know the answer to this....

There are two products.

The blue "Ricotta & Spinach" is long-life, and has a best before date.

The pink "Spinach & Ricotta" says on the front "keep refrigerated" and has a use by date. This is the fresh one.

Just because something has dairy in it, does not mean that it isn't long life. e.g. dried parmesan cheese.
