Sauté pork belly in a hot frying pan until the fat is released, add garlic, pork loin and chicken. Add the rosemary and sage, sauté for two minutes, leave to cool. Spoon this mixture into a bowl, add the prosciutto, pecorino, nutmeg, eggs and seasonings. Blend in a food processor, taste and adjust seasoning. Form the mixture into small balls about the size of a teaspoon. On a floured surface roll out and then stretch the dough thin. Using a glass with a 6 cm diameter cut rounds in the dough. Place the balls in the centre of the rounds, fold over, seal and twist edges together to form little hats (cappelletti).
