Cappellacci all’Uovo with Parmigiano, Ricotta and Mozzarella in a Sicilian Red Pesto

The ‘Cappellaccio’ originates from Ferrara in Emilia Romagna and the name stands for the straw-hat like shape, typically worn by the farmers in this region.

Simple and delicious, the fresh egg pasta is filled with a blend of ricotta, mozzarella and parmigiano with a sprinkling of nutmeg.  A red pesto sauce reminiscent of Sicily, is used as a condiment.  Red pesto is made of tomatoes, ricotta, pine nuts, garlic and fresh basil – ingredients which blend extremely well with the ‘Cappellacio’.  Sun dried tomatoes are added to the dish to heighten the palate.
