    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.

    The OP clearly says it had a Best Before date

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

    There are two products.

    http://www.mysupermarket.co.uk/Shopping/FindProducts.aspx?Query=aldi%20tortelloni

    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.
