Cappelletti in brodo

Italy · Europe

Short description: This soup is built around small folded pasta parcels served in hot broth rather than sauce.
Ingredients: Egg pasta dough, pork, beef or poultry filling, mortadella, prosciutto, hard cheese, egg, nutmeg, meat broth, salt, and black pepper.
Cultural note: It is associated with festive winter meals and family tables where stuffed pasta is shaped by hand.
Common misconception: It is not the same as tortellini; the shape, filling traditions, and name differ by local custom.
