To make the pasta, place flour on a clean surface and make a well in the centre. Add the eggs, and slowly start to incorporate the eggs into the flour with a fork, being careful not to tip the eggs out and spill them.
Begin to the dough once all of the egg is incorporated, and if needed add water until the dough is workable a couple of teaspoons at a time. Knead the dough for about knead10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Let the dough rest wrapped in plastic wrap at least 30 minutes.
To make the filling, melt the butter and add the white wine. Bring to a simmer and cook ½ minutes until reduced slightly. Add the chopped shrimp and lobster, and cook until flesh is pink and cooked through. Season with salt and pepper to taste and remove from the heat. Let the filling cool and mix in the parmesan cheese, with salt and pepper as needed. season
To make the cappelletti, roll out the dough on a pasta maker, lightly floured as needed to the second to last setting. Cut the pasta dough sheets into 3 centimetre squares.
Place about ½ teaspoon of filling in the centre of the pasta square. To form cappelletti, enclose the pasta filling by folding the pasta in half to form a triangle, wetting the pasta slightly with water if needed. Fold the two triangle corners together and pinch well. Continue this process until all the pasta and filling is used up.
To make the cream sauce, add the olive oil, truffles and garlic to a medium pot and saute until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add the white wine and cook until reduced by half, about 5 minutes. Add the cream, and cook until thickened and reduced, another 4 – 5 minutes. Add the parmesan cheese and with salt and pepper to taste. season
To cook, bring a large pot of water to a gentle boil. Add the pasta, and cook until floating, about 4 – 5 minutes.
Toss the pasta with the truffled cream sauce and serve immediately with more parmesan if desired.
