Pasta short-cutters What comes in squares, circles, twists, half-moons, and triangles? One answer is filled pasta--including agnolotti, anolini, ravioli, and tortellini.
Once considered only a restaurant entree or a time-consuming home project, filled pasta can now be called fast food. Today it's widely available--fresh, frozen, dry, or vacuum-packed--in supermarkets as well as in pasta shops and delicatessens.
Start with ready-to-cook pasta as a shortcut to a quick meal. Here we use this versatile ingredient in an appetizer, soup, salad, and entree. The pasta comes with different fillings and wrappers; all are interchangeable in these recipes.
