and they aren't crescents, they're half moons
Mezzaluna pasta is a type of filled pasta which is made in a half moon shape, as its name implies: “mezzaluna” means “half moon” in Italian. This basic pasta shape is quite common; most markets probably carry mezzaluna pasta, and it is also possible to find it in restaurants. A wide variety of fillings and sauces may be used with mezzaluna pasta, ranging from vegan versions to rich, creamy meat and cheese incarnations.
