Cavatelli (Easiest homemade pasta)

Servings 2
Prep Time 20 minutes
Cook Time 15 minutes
Resting 30 minutes
Total Time 1 day 5 minutes

Ingredients
  

  • 200 g of semolina flour re-milled (semola rimacinata in Italian)
  • 110-120 ml lukewarm water
  • optional: 1/2 tsp salt

Instructions
 

  • In a bowl, combine the semolina flour and salt. Gradually add the water and mix until a dough forms.
  • (I like to start by mixing the dough with a spoon in a bowl, then transfer it to a smooth surface and knead until it becomes smooth and elastic)
  • Let it rest for 30 minutes.
  • Shape the cavatelli: Roll the dough into thin noodles and cut into small squares.
  • Using your fingers press each piece on the surface and drag it to form small hollowed pasta.
  • Now all you have to do is to choose your favourite sauce to go with it. Cook as you would normally do with your pasta (10-15 minutes) and enjoy!
  • For mine I like to go simple: a homemade marinara sauce, to really enhance the flavour of pasta.
