Glossary
RotoloThis is essentially a pasta roll or roulade, the name is Italian for 'small wheel'.
Overlapping sheets of fresh pasta are topped with a filling, then rolled up in a clean tea towel to form a sausage shape.
The parcel is then secured at each end with a piece of string before it is poached in a water bath.
The tea towel is then removed and the rotolo is cut into pieces before it is served.
