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.
