More Info

Cavatelli is a traditional Italian pasta shape that originated in the southern regions of Italy, particularly in Apulia (Puglia) and Molise. This unique pasta is loved for its small, shell-like shape, and it is incredibly versatile, making it popular in a variety of dishes.

Texture & Cooking

Traditional cavatelli are often made by rolling small pieces of pasta dough with the fingers or by using a special cavatelli board or gnocchi paddle. This hand-rolling process gives the pasta its characteristic grooves, which help hold onto sauces.

Sauce Pairings

Cavatelli works well with a variety of sauces, thanks to its unique shape and texture. Some popular sauce pairings include:

Tomato-based sauces: The ridges of cavatelli are perfect for capturing and holding chunky tomato sauces with vegetables or meat.
Pesto: The shell-like shape of cavatelli catches and distributes pesto sauce evenly, creating a delicious combination of flavours.
Creamy sauces: Cavatelli can be paired with creamy sauces like Alfredo or carbonara, allowing the sauce to coat the pasta evenly.
