Abstract: A method of making fresh filled pasta includes: preparing a first sheet of fresh pasta and laying it on a flat support; depositing a first dose of a first food filling on the first sheet; depositing, on the first filling, a second dose of a second food filling other than the first; preparing a second sheet of fresh pasta and laying it over the first sheet and the doses; joining the sheets along a substantially continuous edge of a predetermined shape; and cutting the sheets joined along the edge to obtain the desired type of fresh filled pasta. The first filling is in a shape-memory pasty state and the second filling is in a liquid or gel state. The first dose is deformed, before depositing the second dose thereon, to form an upwardly open cavity for receiving and holding the second dose without it overflowing or leaking out.

Abstract: A filled food product, such as Italian dumplings known as ravioli, cappelletti, tortelli, panzerotti and the like, includes an envelope made of pasta, enclosing therein a filling made of edible raw materials. The envelope has at least one sheet of fresh pasta and the filling includes at least one first dose of a first component and at least one second dose of a second component other than the first component. The doses are distinct and both enclosed within the envelope. The envelope is made up of a lower layer and an upper layer, the layers being in mutually facing relationship and joined together along a substantially continuous peripheral edge having a predetermined shape. The envelope is closed along the peripheral edge in substantially liquid-tight fashion.
