LOL. I never thought of that. I just want something big enough that I
can shove the cheese inside. Ravioli and tortellini and have too much
noodle and not enough cheese.

When I lived in CA, I bought some fresh Ravioli that had super thin pasta.
You could pretty much see through it. It was very good but I don't remember
the brand and I haven't seen it anywhere else.

Maybe that's what I dislike about Tortellini. I like the idea of them, but
then when I eat them, I don't like them.
