Cappelletti

Cappelletti (lit. little hats) is a type of Italian pasta prepared in the shape of a hat. Originally, the pasta was filled with stewed beef, Parmigiano-Reggiano, and selected spices. Today, the pasta is also most often filled with meat and cheese, and it is usually served in chicken broth, especially on festive occasions such as Christmas and New Year's Eve.

Cappelletti date back to the Middle Ages, when they was considered a luxury dish that was reserved for Sunday lunch.
