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.
