The dish in short

  • Cavatelli shaped by hand: 1 cm pieces of dough dragged with a fingertip across a pastry board to hollow them.
  • Here the dough is half re-milled durum wheat semolina, half 00 flour, with water and a spoonful of olive oil.
  • Pork shoulder or neck and ribs cooked about 2 hours in peeled tomatoes with white wine; the sausage goes in for the last 30 minutes.
  • The meat is lifted out before the pasta is dressed and can be served as a second course.
  • Finished with grated pecorino and chopped parsley.
