Cappelletti Romagnoli are a type of fresh pasta filled with meat or cheese typical of Romagna and the Christmas period . In fact, they are traditionally enjoyed in broth during the Christmas and New Year's holidays. "Le ricette dell'Amore Vero" prepares them with two Ruggeri flours: Arifa Farina Bio , a versatile and delicate blend ideal for any type of recipe, and Ruggeri Stone-Ground Durum Wheat Semola , for that extra "rustic" touch. Enjoy your meal!
Here is the recipe for Cappelletti Romagnoli with organic arifa flour
Ingredients for Cappelletti Romagnoli
- 2 fresh eggs
- 150 g Arifa Organic Flour Ruggeri
- 50 g Ruggeri Stone Ground Durum Wheat Semolina
- 100 g pork loin
- 100g turkey breast
- 70 g grated pecorino cheese
- 70 g grated parmesan
- 70 g Casatella Romagnola or ricotta
- 40 g butter
- salt to taste
- pepper to taste
- nutmeg to taste
Procedure
Prepare the filling by cooking the pork loin and turkey breast in a little butter, salt and pepper. Finely chop the meat and add grated parmesan, pecorino, Casatella Romagnola, nutmeg. Mix well until you get a smooth mixture. Leave to rest for 2 hours in the fridge.
In the meantime, prepare the puff pastry with eggs and flour. It should be rolled out very thinly and then cut into 4 cm squares each. Place 1/2 teaspoon of filling in the center of each puff pastry square and fold it in half to form a triangle. Press a little with your fingers to seal the filling and then take the two ends, bring them together and lift up the remaining free corner. Here is the cappelletto! This step requires speed, so that the puff pastry remains moist. If it dries out, just wet the edges of the squares with water with the tip of your finger.
Now the fresh Cappelletti romagnoli should be placed on a tray and left to rest for 1 hour in a cool, dry place, after which they can be cooked. Alternatively, place them in the freezer directly on the tray and then transfer them after 2 hours into a plastic food bag and always place them in the freezer until ready to use (in this case, they should not be defrosted, but thrown directly into boiling water).
