Cappelletto, meaning 'little hat' in Italian, are small, ring-shaped pasta, similar to tortellini but typically smaller. These delicate pasta are crafted from a thin egg pasta dough and are traditionally filled with a rich mixture of meat, cheese, or a combination of both. Cappelletto offers a delightful, tender texture when cooked, and their unique shape makes them perfect for capturing flavorful broths and sauces. When cooked al dente, the pasta provides a pleasant chewiness, enhancing the overall dining experience. You can easily distinguish them due to their characteristic shape that resembles a tiny hat or bonnet.

Cappelletti, whether fresh or dried, require proper storage to maintain their quality. Dried cappelletti should be kept in an airtight container in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight; they can last for an extended period, often up to a year. Fresh cappelletti should be refrigerated and used within a few days for optimal flavor and texture. Alternatively, fresh cappelletti can be frozen for longer storage; spread them out on a baking sheet until frozen solid, then transfer them to a freezer bag or airtight container. Cook from frozen, adding a few minutes to the cooking time.
