Cavatelli

Quick and easy to make. I add this pasta to my Beef Bracoile recipe to make a complete meal. Cook as directed then stir into the Beef Bracoile sauce. You can find this recipe under my Beef cookbook. Or use your own favorite sauce.

Ingredients

• 2 cups + 2 tbsp. semolina flour
• 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese

Preparation

Step 1

Add semolina flour and Parmesan to wooden cutting board or work surface. Mix to com bine and then mound and form into a well. Add water to well, mixing with your fingertips to form a dough. Knead until smooth, about 2 minutes.

Cut dough into small pieces and roll into logs. Cut logs roughly into 1/2-inch pieces pieces. Using your thumb or two fingers, roll in a quick motion away from you or toward you to form the cavatelli. (They look like litte shells or hot dog buns.)

Add cavatelli to boiling salted water. Cook until al dente, 2 to 3 minutes.
