    How to Prepare Lemon Cappelletti With Pistachio Cream [Vegan]

    1. For the filling, mix together the ricotta, lemon zest, crushed red pepper, thyme, and salt to taste. Transfer to a piping bag.
    2. For the sauce, in a bowl mix the pistachio butter, lemon juice, heavy cream, garlic, and salt to taste until the pistachio butter mixes well with the cream.
    3. Lay the pasta sheets out on a floured surface and cut into 2-inch (5 cm) circles.
    4. Pipe about 1 teaspoon of filling on each circle and fold in half. Starting at the top, push out the excess air and press the edges together to seal.
    5. Wrap the long edges of the filled pasta around your finger to form a ring. Press the points together to complete the cappelletti shape.
    6. Boil the cappelletti in a large pot of salted water until they float and then transfer with a slotted spoon directly into the sauce along with a small ladle of pasta water.
    7. Transfer to individual serving bowls and top with Parmesan, crushed pistachios, and more crushed red pepper, lemon zest, and fresh thyme.
