Instructions
- Place all-purpose flour and semolina flour in a large mixing bowl and mix well.
- Make a well in the center of the flour mixture and crack the large egg into it.
- Add the cold water and a pinch of fine salt into the well with the egg.
- Using a fork, gently beat the egg and water, gradually incorporating the flour from the edges.
- Once the dough starts to come together, use your hands to knead it on a clean surface for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and let it rest at room temperature for 30 minutes.
- Divide the dough into small portions and roll each into a long rope about 1 cm thick.
- Cut the ropes into 2 cm pieces and press each piece lightly with your thumb to form the cavatelli shape.
- Place the shaped cavatelli on a floured tray to prevent sticking.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the cavatelli for 2 to 3 minutes until they float to the surface.
- Drain the pasta and serve with your favorite sauce or seasoning.
Tips
- Use cold water to help the dough stay firm and easier to shape.
- Resting the dough is important to relax the gluten for easier rolling.
- Dust the shaped cavatelli with flour to prevent sticking before cooking.
Serving Suggestions
- tomato basil sauce
- garlic olive oil sauce
- parmesan cheese grated
- roasted vegetables
Enjoy your fresh homemade cavatelli pasta with your favorite sauce for a delicious Italian meal made from scratch.
