Green cappelletti
Green cappelletti of Grandma Sara
That is a home recipe. And I mean I have never had it anywhere else. And the reason I titled the post-Green Cappelletti of Grandma Sara. After so many recipes from the Via Emilia, I am happy to return with a familiar dish that has accompanied my life since I was a little girl. I particularly love…
