raviolo
Sayrav-ee-OH-loh/ˌɹæviˈoʊloʊ/UK/ˌɹæviˈəʊləʊ/
Pluralravioli
- 1A single large pasta parcel enclosing a filling and served in a sauce.
Like a dumpling, but a single oversized one folded from a sheet of pasta.
Each plate held a single raviolo stuffed with ricotta and a whole egg yolk.
The restaurant's signature raviolo arrived swimming in a pool of brown sage butter.
Note
Italian's own singular, borrowed whole: one parcel is a raviolo, and two or more are ravioli. The word turns up mostly in that plural form, so the singular stands out where a single parcel is the whole portion on the plate. Use raviolo for that lone piece and ravioli for any plateful of several, as you would in Italian.
