Filled pasta
Tortelloni
Quick answer
Tortelloni are larger versions of tortellini, usually with ricotta and herb fillings.
Tortelloni means "large tortelli" in Italian.
Best sauces: butter and sage. Match the shape to the sauce — long thin pasta for oil and light sauces, tubes and ridges for chunky or meaty sauces, flat egg ribbons for rich ragù and butter.

Quick answer
How do you make Italian sausage lower in sodium?
Grind your own and use 1 teaspoon of salt per pound instead of the commercial 2 — that takes a link from roughly 600 mg of sodium to about 300 mg. Replace the missing punch with extra fennel, garlic, black pepper and a squeeze of lemon at the table.
