  • 500g of 00 flour
  • 1 egg
  • 13 egg yolks
  • 150g of semolina

After 90 minutes of cooking, the rabbit meat should come easily away from the bone. Leave to cool in the liquid
5
After cooling, take the rabbit out of the cooking liquid and remove the bones, picking the meat into small pieces. Reduce the remaining cooking liquid by half and set aside
6
To finish the filling, blanch the Swiss chard in boiling salted water and refresh in iced water. Dry well then chop into small pieces and mix with the rabbit meat, marjoram, 1 egg and Parmesan
  • 250g of Swiss chard
  • 1/2 bunch of marjoram
  • 60g of Parmesan
  • 1 egg

For the Raschera cheese cream, melt the cheese with the milk over a bain marie and reserve

  • 250ml of milk

  • 1 knob of butter
  • 25ml of extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 sprig of rosemary
  • 1 sprig of thyme

  • 50g of dried ceps
  • 400ml of water

To make the cappelletti, roll out the dough using a pasta machine until you have a thin sheet. Cut 4cm discs out of the pasta sheet and place a teaspoon of the rabbit mixture onto each disc
11
Brush the edges of the pasta with a little egg wash. Cut out 6cm discs of pasta to cover the rabbit and lay over the top of the filling to make a dome shape. Press the top sheet down, expelling any air. Make six cappelletti per portion
12
Bring a large saucepan of salted water to the boil and cook the cappelletti for 2 minutes. Drain on kitchen paper

To serve, spoon some cream into the bottom of each bowl and place the cappelletti on top. Refresh the mushroom foam with a hand blender and spoon over the top of the pasta. Garnish with picked thyme and serve
