Ингредиенты
- 3 c. all-purpose flour - (1 lb)
- 1 lb ricotta cheese
- 2 lrg Large eggs lightly beaten
Инструкции
- Put 2 1/2 c. of the flour into a bowl, make a well in the flour, and add in the cheese and Large eggs. Gradually work the mix together, adding more flour if necessary, to make a soft but not sticky dough. On a lightly floured surface, knead the dough till it is smooth. Let the dough rest at room temperature, covered with an inverted bowl or possibly wrapped in plastic, for 30 min.
- Form the dough into a round and cut into quarters. Working with one quarter at a time (cover the remaining dough with an inverted bowl to keep the dough from drying out), on a lightly floured surface, roll the dough into a rope 1/4-inch in diameter. With a knife, cut the rope into 1/2-inch pcs. With your index and third fingers held together, gently press down on each piece, beginning at the top and moving down toward the bottom, dragging your fingers toward you and causing the pasta to roll over on itself. Transfer the formed pasta to a lightly floured jelly-roll pan and let dry at room temperature for at least 30 min.
- Bring a saucepan of salted water to a boil, and add in the pasta. Cook till the cavatelli are al dente, 6 to 8 min. They're done when they float up to the top. Drain and toss the desired quantity with your favorite sauce. Freeze leftovers.
