Preparation

The pasta wrappers are usually fresh pasta, but dried pasta can be used if the wrapper is not sealed. Premade filled pasta for mass consumption is often pasteurized to set the dough structure.[1]

Variations

While most filled pastas are sealed on all sides, rotolo ripieno is rolled, but not sealed.[2] Similar types of pasta include layered pasta such as lasagna, while similar stuffed preparations include kachoris, samosas and tamales.
