Ravioli carry the care of hidden filling: something enclosed, sealed, and revealed when eaten. They reflect patience, technique, and the pleasure of making individual pieces by hand.
Ravioli
Ravioli are filled pasta parcels, usually made by enclosing cheese, meat, vegetables, or other fillings between sheets of pasta dough.
