In another aspect, a method for making ravioli analogs comprises co-extruding a first dough and a second dough having at least one component that is present in both the first dough and the second dough, the first dough and the second dough having different colorants relative to each other; and cutting the extruded doughs into pieces having predetermined sizes with ends sealed such that the first dough completely encases the second dough.
