Cavatelli: The Underrated Pasta Shape
Happy Sunday! Every Sunday we share a recipe so you can cook along with us.
Sunday Dinner
Cavatelli with Blistered Tomatoes
Recently, Chef Stuart Lane of Seattle’s iconic Spinasse and Artusi restaurants stopped by the Homemade studio to make his cavatelli recipe, a pasta shape that is as humble as it is delicious. No eggs, just two flours and a little water, paired with aromatic blistered tomatoes. It is a reminder that simple ingredients can transform into something extraordinary.
Inspired, I went home the next day and made cavatelli with my boys using nothing more than a fork to create the shapes. We put our own spin on the sauce, because the beauty of this pasta is it pairs with just about anything. The ritual of rolling shapes together turned into a joyful, flour-dusted evening that ended with bowls of pasta everyone loved.
Check out the video of Chef Stuart and me cooking up this bright, beautiful dish and see how it all comes together!
