Sorrentinos

Although it was modeled on Italian ravioli, this stuffed pasta variety is believed to have been invented in Argentina. Sorrentinos are round and large and come with a variety of fillings such as different types of grated cheese, ricotta, ham, vegetables, or nuts.

There are numerous stories about the origin of sorrentinos, and though some claim that they hail from Mar del Plata, some link their origin to Buenos Aires and a popular restaurant named Sorrentino. Sorrentinos can be served with different types of tomato or cream-based sauces.
