Sorry, but this recipe sounds like 'tortellini' instead of ravioli! The difference between tortellini and ravioli is the shape and the filling! Infact tortellini has meat while ravioli generally have spinach and ricotta or other vegetables! :-)
I'm Italian... ;-)
Greetings from Tuscany, Simona


Simona - no way does this sound like a tortellini! I've made tortellini for years - this isn't tortellini.

Simona, If it's shaped like a Ravioli and has a filling then it's a Ravioli. If I fill a piece of pasta and roll it like a Tortellini then it's a Tortellini, If I fill it and shape it as a Wonton or Dimsum then that is what I will call it. 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" -
