Last week, I spoke to one of the new pasta shapes in the new Beef And Veal Tortellacci so I figured now would be a great time to educate you on another new shape that we are featuring this month - Agnolotti.  Agnolotti is a cheese stuffed pasta similar to a ravioli.  Where ravioli is made with two sheets of pasta around a filling deposited in the center, an agnolotti (translated means 'priest's hat' since that is what is looks like) is a small circular cut of pasta folded over the filling and crimped shut.  This month we have been featuring this shape in the new Artichoke and Mascarpone Agnolotti.  What I like most about this shape is that the pasta dough is made with spinach, hence the green color of the pasta itself.  These two new dishes are only available through the weekend so come on in and give them a try!
