Capeletis a la Caruso
Meat-filled pasta parcels coated with a cream sauce of mushrooms, ham, onion, wine and Parmesan.

About Capeletis a la Caruso
Amanda Barnes presents capeletis a la Caruso as a traditional Uruguayan pasta dish. Homemade folded pasta encloses a filling of ground beef, eggs, Parmesan and ricotta.
White onion and mushrooms cook with butter and dry white wine before cream and diced ham join the sauce. Nutmeg, salt and pepper season both the filling and the creamy coating.
The cooked pasta is added to the sauce with grated Parmesan. The cheese melts around the small filled parcels, bringing the pasta, meat filling and mushroom-and-ham sauce together in the pan.
