1 cup ground round steak
3 Tbsp. butter
2 Tbsp. grated Parmesan
Salt & pepper to taste
Melt butter in frying pan, add meat & brown over medium flame. Remove from stove & add cheese, salt & pepper. Set aside to cool.
Make the following dough :
2 eggs
1/4 Tsp. salt
1 Tbsp. oil
1 1/2 cups flour
Knead eggs with flour & salt. If dough is too thin add more flour. Add oil and form dough into a ball. Divide in two parts & roll each half out on lightly floured board to paper thin. Cut into rounds with 2 in. cookie cutter or top of glass. Place teaspoon of meat stuffing in center and fold over once to form a little hat. Press edges together with fork. Cook Cappelletti either in clear broth or chicken broth for 1/2 hour in covered pan. Drain & serve with a sauce of your choice.
This recipe comes from an old Italian grandmother {not mine} who had a cookbook of all her fav recipes printed up and then gave out to all her loved ones. I lovingly call her the "food pusher"...To her, food is love.
Again, if our Admin. has to come in behind me and correct my mistakes in posting a simple recipe, you have my apologies.
