Raviole bolognesi (sweet pastry raviole)

Raviole are not to be confused with savoury ravioli made from pasta, although the concept is similar. Raviole are made with a sweet shortcrust pastry, flavoured with lemon zest, and filled with a jam made of mustard fruits. They can also be made with plum jam, which is easier to find outside of Italy.
