This is a large, round ravioli-type pasta with a serrated edge. It is a speciality of Cremona and comes with two types of filling. The first consists of walnuts, Parmesan, eggs, breadcrumbs and nutmeg. These are usually cooked in a good chicken broth and either served in it or drained and dressed with melted butter and Parmesan cheese. The other filling is a meat filling like that used to fill ravioli.
