Ingredients

  • 5 cups chicken stock
  • 1 cup cappeletti pasta (fresh or dried)
  • 2 tablespoons dry white wine (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh flat leaf parsley
  • kosher sea salt
  • fresh ground black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese, to serve

Method

  • Pour the chicken stock into a large saucepan and bring to a boil.
  • Add a little salt and pepper to taste, then drop in the pasta.
  • Stir well to separate the pasta and bring back to a boil.
  • Lower the heat to a simmer and cook according to the package instructions, until the pasta is al dente. Stir frequently during cooking to ensure the pasta cooks evenly.
  • Swirl in the wine and parsley (if using) and taste and adjust the seasoning.
  • Ladle into warmed soup plates, then sprinkle with grated Parmesan. Serve immediately.
  • NOTE: Cappelletti is very similar to tortellini; if you can't find cappelletti, tortellini would be a good substitution. You can buy them ready-made (frozen or fresh) or make your own. Use a miniature version if you can find it.
