Description
Rooted in tradition since 1924, Rustichella’s Cavatelli deliver authentic Southern‑Italian character:
-
Hand‑shaped grooves created by dragging dough over a board (from cavare, “to carve”), ideal for sauce‑holding
-
Premium ingredients: stone‑ground durum wheat semolina and spring water for pure, wheat-forward taste
-
Bronze‑die extrusion and 56‑hour drying: gives a porous, coarse surface and preserved flavour/texture
-
Durable, al dente bite that resists overcooking, yet absorbs sauces beautifully
-
Versatile shape: equally great in soups, ragùs, or with vegetable‑based sauces
🍽 Serving Suggestions
-
Brothy soups: Cavatelli’s curves capture broth and ingredients—ideal for minestrone or bean soups.
-
Hearty ragù: Rich meat or sausage ragù clings perfectly within each “thumbprint.”
-
Greens & sausage: Mix with broccoli rabe, Italian sausage, garlic, and olive oil for a classic southern combo.
-
Veggie medley: Pair with roasted squash, mushrooms, and sage, finished with Parmigiano.
