Ravioli have origins on the Island of Sicily, the word being derived from the Latin "graviolo", meaning full or heavy. The earliest mention occurred in the 14th century in the writings of Francesco di Marco Datini. Initially, they were simple pasta, without fillings, used in soups. In the 12th/13th century, they began to add fillings, such as eggs, cheese and herbs. Over time, fillings evolved, and ravioli took on different shapes and sizes. Today, they are enjoyed globally, filled with a variety of ingredients.
