Pansoti
Ravioli (; : ''raviolo'', ) are a type of stuffed pasta comprising a filling enveloped in thin pasta dough. Usually served in broth or with a sauce, they originated as a traditional food in Italian cuisine. Ravioli are commonly square, though other forms are also used, including circular and semi-circular ('' mezzelune''). Ravioli appear in the 14th-century cookbook ''The Forme of Cury'' under the name of ''rauioles''. Etymology English and French borrowed the word ''ravioli'' from Italian in the 14th century. The ultimate origin of the word is uncertain. It is sometimes connected to the northern Italian word ''rava'', 'turnip', supposing that the filling was made of turnips, but the earliest recipes, even Lenten ones, do not include turnips. Another theory connects it to a kind of cheese (related to modern Italian ''robiola''), but that also appears unlikely. History Ravioli are mentioned in the personal letters of Francesco Datini, a merchant of Prato in the 14th century.Dav ...

Production process After Denaturation (biochemistry), denaturation of cream, the whey is removed without pressing or aging. Mascarpone may also be made using cream and the residual tartaric acid from the bottom or sides of barreled wine.

The mixture is allowed to cool to room temperature before it is poured into a cheesecloth-lined colander, set into a shallow pan or dish, and chilled and strained for one to two days.

Unlike ricotta, which is made from whey, mascarpone is made from cream. Uses Mas ...

The Weiners helped the Boiardi brothers develop a process for canning the food at scale in Cleveland. They also procured distribution across the United States through their grocery's wholesale partners. He decided to anglicize the name of his product to "Boy-Ar-Dee" to help Amer ...
