- Preparation: 40 min
- Cooking: 25 min
- Makes: 1 serving (545 g)
- Difficulty: Hard
- Diets: High protein
- Contains: beef, celery, dairy, egg, gluten, pork, poultry
Ingredients
- 60 g Pasta, fresh egg
- 40 g Pork, ground, raw
- 20 g Mortadella
- 10 g Parmesan cheese
- 15 g Eggs, whole, raw
- 0.1 g Nutmeg
- 400 g Chicken stock, homemade
- 0.3 g Salt
Method
- Cook the ground pork in a dry pan over medium heat, breaking it up, until cooked through and lightly browned; cool slightly.
- Finely chop or process the cooked pork with the mortadella until almost a paste, then mix in the parmesan, a third of the egg and the nutmeg to make the filling.
- Roll the fresh pasta thinly and cut into small squares about 4 cm across.
- Place a little filling in the centre of each square, brush the edges with the remaining beaten egg, fold into a triangle and press out the air, then wrap the two bottom corners around your finger and pinch them together to make the little 'hat' shape.
- Bring the chicken stock to a gentle simmer and season lightly with the salt.
- Cook the cappelletti in the simmering stock for 4-5 minutes until they float and the pasta is tender.
- Ladle into a bowl with plenty of the hot broth and serve immediately with extra grated parmesan if you like.
