raviolis

Pasta with filling

Raviolis is a double plural—ravioli is already plural in Italian, but English speakers often add -s when talking about the individual pasta pieces: I dropped a couple raviolis on the floor.

The word works like "spaghettis" for some speakers, treating the foreign plural as a singular and re-pluralizing it.
