agnolotti
Piedmontese meat pillows
Agnolotti are small stuffed pasta from the Piedmont region of Italy, typically square or rectangular with pinched edges.
The filling is traditionally meat—often a mixture of roasted beef, pork, or rabbit with vegetables—though cheese and spinach versions exist.
They resemble ravioli but are usually smaller and folded differently: The agnolotti were served in a simple butter and sage sauce.
