Ingredients

1 cup 1 All Purpose Flour
1/2 cup 1/2 Duram Flour (or 00 Pasta)
1/2 pound 1/2 Ricotta Cheese (drained)
1 tsp 1 Salt
1 1 Egg
1/2 tsp 1/2 black pepper

Directions

Add all ingredients in a large bowl and mix together.
Knead with hands for a bit until dough is firm and smooth.
Cut off a piece of the dough and roll into a thin log.
Run through a cavatelli machine.
Add to boiling, salted water.
Boil for 2-3 minutes.
Remove with a strainer and add directly to warm sauce.

Notes

The ricotta needs to be as dry as possible. A few days before making cavatelli, place your ricotta in a strainer, or cheese cloth, and suspend over a mixing bowl to dry out the ricotta.
