Cavatelli are a traditional Southern Italian pasta shape typical to the regions of Molise and Puglia. Pasta fatta in casa, or homemade pasta, is simply prepared with farina di semola rimacinata – twice milled durum wheat, best known in the US as semolina flour, water and a little salt. Each tiny morsel of pure goodness is quickly shaped by hand. Not only are cavatelli a perfect white canvas then prepared and tossed with a great variety of delicious sauces, but they are also a magical unifying tradition for any family to adopt. Old and young are welcome to sit around the kitchen table and learn the traditions of the past from grandparents and aunts. Conversations and listening skills are fostered as each person is immersed in this old skill that we don’t want to lose.
