Pasta has so many shapes and sizes and every nationality has it's own version it seems. Here in the States, Ravioli has every filling imaginable.

Welcome to SP. I hope you enjoy it here. I am looking forwards to seeing some of your authentic Italian recipes.

I'd hate to see what Simona would say about canneloni and manicotti! Many pastas are filled - and fillings are whatever the cook wants to put in them - period!
Ravioli are square or round - I make mezzalunas - they are still ravioli.
My tortellini are "bishop's hats" -
