How does Ilary Blasi prepare cappelletti? The host in the kitchen

After preparing a classic egg pastry (1 egg for every 100 g of flour if not more in case you want the dough even more colorful) and having kneaded well until you get a smooth dough (with the help of 91-year-old Marcella), the presenter of the Island is passed to the filling: minced meat, eggs, grated cheese, salt and pepper.

After preparing the two bases, all that remains is to move on to making the meat cappelletti. We don’t know how the pasta was made (and by whom), however the important thing is to make one very thin sheet with a rolling pin or a special machine. The next step was to cut the pasta into strips and distribute small equally spaced piles of filling, then use the pasta cutter again to make small squares with the meat filling in the centre.

Not even for the button closure la show girl ex of Francesco Totti she pulled back, despite the delicate passage that could frustrate all the efforts in the preparation (in fact, if it is not closed well, it opens during cooking, dispersing the filling). However Ilary Blasi seems to have done a great job, he has closed the square of pasta in a triangle with the filling in the center and pressing well to seal it without letting the filling out, he then joined the two opposite corners pressing well (a champion move is to wrap it inside the little finger and seal the corners well).
