Originating in the province of Reggio Emilia but now widespread throughout Italy, cappelletti are the highest expression of homemade stuffed pasta. Cappelletti are not to be confused with tortelli: the size of the hand-sealed cappelletti and the way they are prepared differ greatly. Everyone agrees that the broth has to be nice and strong, but again, some like capon and others hen.
The recipe for cappelletti is folk and there are many variations. It is impossible to say which recipe is the "real" one, as it varies from place to place and sometimes even from family to family. We offer the original version from La Fojeda.
