🤗 Fresh pasta - filled pasta - I love it!! 🇮🇹
Come ... try ... this:
💥 Cappellacci Ripieni di Zucca e Amaretti --- Hand made cappellacci pasta, famous from the area of Ferrera in Emilia-Romagnia. This ravioli is filled with butternut squash, ricotta, parmigiano reggiano and amaretti cookies, served with smoked provola cheese fondue and amaretti cookie crumbles.
are a traditional Italian stuffed pasta, particularly associated with medeival city of Ferrara in Emilia-Romagna, Italy. They are shaped like large folded hats and similar to oversized tortellini.
