I wrote this recipe while I was packing Christmas presents just arrived from Italy.

I though the would be lovely to see my Cappellacci on your tables for Christmas lunch! I looked for a variation on the classic meat fillings, because here in Australia is summer and maybe a seasonal filling with  Ricotta cheese and figs is more appreciated!

Steps

1
Done

making pasta dough

Sift flour onto a wood bench, forming it into a volcano shaped mound with a well in the centre, where you can break eggs. Incorporate the eggs into the flour with a forehand your hands, gradually until it form a ball. Work the dough for 10 minutes until the consistency is smooth and elastic.
Wrap the dough in a clingfilm and leave it to rest for at least 30 minutes.

2
Done

making filling and cappellacci

Cut your figs, without skin, into small pieces and cook for 2 minutes with olive oil and a pinch of salt. Let it cool down. Mix figs with ricotta, add parmigiana and mix until well combined.
Cut out a piece of pasta dough and roll out it really thin. With a round cutter (6 cm in diameter) cut your pasta and put some filling in the center and fold over, sealing the edge. Then join the ends together, pressing the seal.

Done

Sauce!

Cut Prosciutto Crudo in little pieces and cook for some minutes until it becomes crunchy.
Cook your Cappellacci in plenty of boiling salted water for 4-5 minutes.
Meanwhile melt the butter in a pan. Scoop cappellacci from the water and add to butter. Mix together, add pecorino, pepper and 3 spoons of pasta water for moisture.
Divide between warmed plates, add crunchy prosciutto and sprinkle grated Pecorino over each portion.
