Directions/Steps

Cavatelli:

  • Pour the flour in a bowl and begin to add water a little at the time.  Mix the water into the flour.
  • Once the water is well amalgamated with the flour, remove the dough from the bowl and move it to a wooden board. Continue to work with your hands the dough until reaches a firm consistency.
  • Cut a piece of dough and roll it with your hands on the board into a round form a little less that 1/2" thick.
  • With a knife, cut the round dough into small pieces and with the tip of your index and middle finger press on each piece and pull it toward you. It should result in a "Cavatello".  (Watch the center sequence of the video).

Ragu':

  • In a sauce pan, add EV olive oil and saute` the garlic and the onion together.
  • Once the garlic begins to turn golden, add the four cuts of meat: pork, veal, lamb and beef.
  • Let the meat color on all sides and add the white wine.
  • After a minute or two, add the tomato sauce, the basil cut into pieces and the parsley. Add salt and pepper as desired.
  • Cook for 1 hour.
  • Pour the Ragu` sauce over the cavatelli which you have cooked separately and garnish with plenty of Parmigiano.

Buon Appetito!
