Stuffed Pockets with Ricotta Treviso and Mortadella

The Stuffed Pockets with Ricotta Treviso and Mortadella are a truly delicious stuffed pasta dish. The dressing with the walnut sauce is suitable for this filling. My idea was to use speck, but not having it, I replaced it with mortadella, which works just fine. Try this dish too, I am sure you will like it!
