- Divide dough in half and roll out dough 1/4 inch thick.
- Using a round cookie cutter (or drinking glass) cut dough into circles.
- Place a spoonful of filling in each circle, then fold over to form a half circle and press the edges together with the fingers.
- The edges should be free of filling.

- Stir to separate them and to prevent them from sticking to the bottom of the pot.
- Drain and rinse well.
- Serve with your favourite pasta sauce.
