Ravioli

n. small pillow-like pieces of pasta filled with meat cheese or vegetables

Ravioli is a type of pasta, comprised of a filling, commonly (though not always) meat- (either red or poultry) or fish- based, sealed between two layers of thin pasta dough. Ravioli can be rectangular or circular in shape.Other preparations include ricotta and vegetables such as spinach, green beet stems or nettles in place of meat. Fillings could be also be derived from potatoes, mushrooms, pumpkin, artichokes. Often topped with a red, tomato based sauce, the sauces can be as varied as the fillings and attention must be paid not to "drown" the taste of the most delicate fillings with too strong a sauce.  Pesto, broth based and cream based sauces are more common in these instances.
