EASY CAPPELLETTI PASTA RECIPE
Divide the dough into 6 parts and roll out each portion on a lightly
floured surface into 9 inch squares. Each strip is divided into 9 equal
squares.
Place 1/4 tsp of filling in each square and fold diagonally to form a triangle. Seal the edges. Hold the folded side of the triangle around the top of your index finger, and bring the two bottom points of the triangle around the bottom of your index finger and pinch together to form a little cap.
Cook in a 6 or 8 quart pot of boiling salted water for 6 minutes
and serve with your favorite sauce. You can also cook these in beef or
chicken broth.
