Filled pasta
food that consists of a thin layer of dough wrapped around a filling
Filled pasta or stuffed pasta is pasta, usually sealed, surrounding a variety of fillings. Such pasta is especially common and traditional in regions of Europe, namely Italy, Austria and Switzerland, southern parts of Germany, and the Balkan. Examples of filled pasta include ravioli and tortellini.
Preparation
The pasta wrappers are usually fresh pasta, but dried pasta can be used if the wrapper is not sealed. Premade filled pasta for mass consumption is often pasteurized to set the dough structure and sold vaccum-sealed for cold storage, or even dried for extended shelf-life without cooling.
Variations
While most filled pastas are sealed on all sides, rotolo ripieno is rolled, but not sealed. Similar types of pasta include layered pasta such as lasagna, while similar stuffed preparations include kachoris, samosas and tamales.
