Roll out Basic Fresh Egg Pasta to thinnest setting on pasta machine. Cut pasta sheets into 3-inch squares. Place 1 teaspoon squash filling in center of each, fold to form triangles, pressing firmly around all edges. Take two further corners and bring together and press firmly to attach and form little hats. Place cappellacci in boiling water and lower heat to high simmer. Cook until tender, about 2 to 3 minutes.
