Cappelletti is like the little cousin to tortellini, since they’re smaller and folded slightly differently. The bright, citrusy flavor of the lemon with the pistachio cream is perfect for cappelletti because of its size and shape! I recommend making a double batch of this Lemon Cappelletti With Pistachio Cream by Brianna Claxton since they’re good even when you have them as leftovers.
