Homemade Cavatelli Pasta
Cavatelli noodles are a typical Southern Italian pasta made out of just durum wheat semolina flour, water, and salt. The starch contained in the durum gives this pasta its distinctive and firm texture, perfect to go with a simple tomato sauce or with a rich Bolognese. Make sure to use very fine semolina (called durum or semola rimacinata) or the dough will be too stiff.
