What is this Italian pasta shape?

Ravioli is a classic Italian pasta dish consisting of small squares or rounds of pasta dough filled with a variety of ingredients. The dough is typically made from flour, eggs, and water, rolled out thinly, and then filled with a mixture that often includes ricotta cheese, spinach, herbs, and sometimes meat or seafood. Once filled, the pasta is folded over and sealed, creating a distinctive pillow-like shape. Ravioli can be served with a variety of sauces, such as a simple tomato sauce, creamy Alfredo sauce, or a sage and butter sauce, depending on regional variations and personal preference. It is beloved for its rich flavors, comforting texture, and versatility, making it a staple in Italian cuisine enjoyed both at home and in restaurants worldwide.
