Definition
Ravioli are small pasta squares filled with ingredients like cheese, meat, or vegetables, usually served with sauce.
Usage & Nuances
'Ravioli' is always plural in Italian, but in English it can be singular or plural; often found in Italian cuisine. Usually refers to the pasta itself, not the sauce. Commonly eaten with tomato or cream sauces. Do not confuse 'ravioli' with other pasta like 'tortellini' or 'dumplings'—the filling and shape differ.
