| Asparagus & Cheese Cappellacci |
 The fresh, green flavors of asparagus are sign of Spring. They lend their bight, seasonal taste to Bertagni's Asparagus & Cheese Cappellacci. Creamy ricotta cheese provides a rich, luscious texture to the filling while the addition of Parmigiano Reggiano, Grana Padano, and Pecorino Romano rounds out the blend with their salty, savory depth of flavor. A simple splash of extra virgin olive oil and a grating of pecorino is all you need to turn these cappellaci into a simple springtime meal. Founded in 1882 in Bologna, Bertagni claims the title of the world's oldest producer of tortellini. Now, almost a 150 years later, Bertagni still bases all of their pastas on traditional, classic recipes from Italian regional cooking. Using only the highest quality ingredients, without any preservatives or artificial flavorings, Bertagni filled pastas are crafted to highlight the fillings. For each variety, the shape and thickness of the pasta dough is uniquely tailored to feature the fresh flavors and textures of the filling. While the methods have been modernized, the recipes still remain deeply rooted in tradition. This attention to detail and adherence to their past make Bertagni filled pastas a truly authentic culinary experience. Serving suggestion: try mixing them with a dab of butter, a pinch of salt and some fresh peas! Price: 5.99 |
