Will it be a cold dinner or will you be able to boil something there, just a
few minutes, and to melt some butter in a skillet? If you can, you could
consider "tortelli di zucca", or "pumpkin stuffed tortelli", like these:

These are closed in the style of Piacenza which isn't the easiest way to
close tortelli, I choose that image because it showed both the final product
and the halfway step. But one can always simply play them in two, like in
these picture (where they show potato stuffed tortelli, but here what
matters is the shape):
