What is "ravioli"?

Ravioli is a type of Italian pasta known for its delicate, square-shaped pillows filled with various ingredients. The pasta dough is rolled out into thin sheets, and a filling of cheese, meat, or vegetables is placed on one sheet. Another sheet is then carefully placed on top and pressed along the edges to seal the pockets of goodness. When cooked, ravioli has a tender yet slightly firm texture, providing a satisfying bite. The taste of ravioli varies depending on the filling, ranging from creamy ricotta to savory meat or flavorful vegetables.
