What is "cappelletti"?

Cappelletti is a distinctive Italian pasta known for its unique features. Resembling small folded hats, cappelletti is filled with a savory mixture of ingredients, such as meat, cheese, or vegetables. When cooked, cappelletti offers a tender texture and delicate bite, while the filling provides a burst of flavor. To make cappelletti, pasta dough is rolled thin, filled with the desired filling, folded, and sealed to form the hat-like shape. Whether served in broth, with a sauce, or in a soup, cappelletti brings a delightful combination of taste, texture, and visual appeal to any dish.
