Ravioli, singular: raviolo, are a type of pasta comprising a filling enveloped in thin pasta dough.
Ravioli are commonly square, though other forms are also used, including circular and semi-circular (mezzelune).
The word ‘ravioli’ means “little turnips” in Italian dialect, from the Italian rava meaning turnips, from the Latin rapa.
The eggs must be of the highest quality free range eggs you can find. In Italy, they have eggs specifically for making pasta called ‘Pasta Gialla’ yellow dough or yellow pasta. The yolks are bright orange giving the pasta a beautiful yellow colour.
