Cappelletti in is a traditional Italian dish that combines delicate pockets filled with savory ingredients, submerged in a flavorful broth. This rustic and comforting dish is perfect for cold winter days or when you’re in need of some comforting homemade goodness. In this article, we will guide you through the step-by-step process of making in broth right in your own kitchen.

To start, let’s gather all the necessary ingredients. For the cappelletti dough, you’ll need 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 2 eggs, a pinch of salt, and a splash of water if needed. For the filling, you’ll need 1 cup of cooked ground meat (such as beef or chicken), 1/2 cup of grated Parmesan cheese, a handful of chopped fresh parsley, 1 garlic clove (minced), and salt and pepper to taste. Finally, for the broth, you’ll need 4-6 cups of beef or chicken broth, depending on how soupy you prefer your cappelletti.

Start by making the cappelletti dough. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Make a well in the center and crack the eggs into it. Using a fork, slowly whisk the eggs while gradually incorporating the flour from the sides. Continue stirring until the mixture forms a dough. If the dough feels too dry, add a splash of water. Transfer the dough onto a floured surface and knead it for a few minutes until smooth and elastic. Wrap it in plastic wrap and let it rest for about 30 minutes.

In the meantime, let’s prepare the filling. In a separate bowl, combine the cooked ground meat, Parmesan cheese, parsley, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Mix everything together until well integrated. Set the filling aside.

Once the dough has rested, it’s time to roll it out and shape the cappelletti. Divide the dough into four equal portions. Take one portion and roll it out into a thin sheet using a rolling pin or a pasta machine. Ensure the sheet is thin but not too delicate. Use a round cookie cutter or a drinking glass to cut out circles from the dough. Place a small teaspoon of the filling in the center of each circle.

Fold the circles in half, forming a half-moon shape. Press the edges firmly together, ensuring there are no air pockets or openings. Bring the two corners of the half-moon together, overlapping slightly, and pinch them together to create the characteristic cappelletti shape. Repeat this process with the remaining dough and filling.

Now, it’s time to cook the cappelletti in broth. In a large pot, bring the beef or chicken broth to a gentle boil. Carefully drop the cappelletti into the broth, making sure they are submerged. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the cappelletti are tender and float to the surface.

Once the cappelletti are cooked, ladle them into individual bowls and pour the flavorful broth over them. Garnish with a sprinkle of fresh parsley or grated Parmesan cheese if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy the comforting warmth and delectable flavors of homemade cappelletti in broth.

In conclusion, making cappelletti in broth is a wonderful culinary adventure that allows you to create a hearty and delicious Italian dish right at home. From preparing the dough and filling to shaping the cappelletti and cooking them in flavorful broth, this dish is sure to impress your family and friends. So, grab your apron and get ready to indulge in the cozy flavors of cappelletti in broth. Buon appetito!
