To prepare, bring a pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Carefully add the prosciutto cappelletti to the boiling water. Cook for the time indicated on the packaging, usually just a few minutes, until the pasta floats to the surface and is tender. Drain the pasta gently, reserving a little of the cooking water. Toss with your favorite sauce, such as a light butter and sage sauce, a simple tomato sauce, or a creamy cheese sauce. A sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese makes a wonderful finish.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to other stuffed pastas like ravioli or tortellini, cappelletti often have a slightly more delicate pasta casing. The 'hat' shape is characteristic and can hold sauce well. The specific filling of prosciutto provides a distinct salty and savory flavor profile.
