Remember when you were little and couldn't fall asleep? In my case, my mom would come to soothe me a glass of warm milk and, like magic, it would relax me and make me sleepy immediately. I get the same effect when I add a slice of toast, it's a winning combination: carbs and dairy. Years later I discovered cappelletti and they've become a kind of comfort food for my family. After a nice plate of this pasta, I always feel refreshed, relaxed, calm and able to overcome anything I may be faced with. I recommend trying it out and prepare a dish of cappelletti when you feel anxious or unrest. There's no need to suffer if you can calm yourself with this delicious paste. You’ll feel the difference after just one bite.
