Cavatelli: A Pasta That Feels Like Home
|
Hello there, Reader! In last week’s newsletter, I shared Roasted Potatoes Worth Turning the Oven On For! If you missed it, you can catch up HERE. This week, I wanted to talk about a pasta that feels especially close to my heart — cavatelli. It’s one of those pastas that shows up again and again in Italian kitchens. Simple ingredients, rolled by hand, and always tied to family meals. Every household makes it a little differently, but the feeling it brings to the table is always the same: comforting, familiar, and satisfying. Over the years, I’ve shared a few different ways to make cavatelli, depending on what you’re in the mood for or what you have on hand. A Few Cavatelli VariationsHomemade Cavatelli Pasta Dough Ricotta Cavatelli Whole Wheat Cavatelli Pasta Dough Favorite Cavatelli PairingsOnce the pasta is made, cavatelli really shines when paired with simple, well-balanced sauces. Here are a few favorites from my kitchen. Cavatelli with Tomato Ricotta Sauce Sautéed Broccoli and Cavatelli Avocado Pesto Cavatelli If you’re in the mood to explore more, I’ve gathered all of my cavatelli recipes in one place — from doughs to sauces and everything in between.
Whether you’re making pasta from scratch or cooking with store-bought cavatelli, I hope one of these recipes finds its way to your table this week. READER REVIEW OF THE WEEK!I have actually making this recipe for years. I will take individual slices for work lunch.... A+
