Cappelletti

caplét, cappalletti, cappelletti in brodo

Cappelletti [kappelˈletti] are ring-shaped italian pasta so called for the characteristic shape that resembles a hat (cappello in italian). compared to tortellini, they have a different shape, larger size, thicker dough and different filling. the origins of the recipe, very widespread on a territorial basis, are ancient, traditionally and historically linked to emilia-romagna and marche. from these areas it then spread over the centuries, becoming a typical dish in various cities. some recent sources specifically indicate the area in the cesena-ferrara-reggio emilia triangle as the place of origin, others report the marche as a land where cappelletti are of ancient tradition.
