This weekend seems to be flying by. I’ve been slowly, and I mean slowly, going thru things and packing them up, throwing them out or donating things. This is when I wish mom would come out and just do it for me. She’s good at trimming down and weeding out. Not to mention cleaning. That’s where her and I are different. I am a big fat slob. I’m trying to get better about not being a slob, but it’s hard when you’ve got too many things going at once. Maybe I should investigate my family history to see if there are other family members and ancestors who were notorious slobs.
My mom also mentioned that her and my dad had come cavatelli (cav-a-deal is how we always pronounced it). Cavatelli is like gnocchi but in most cases it’s made with ricotta cheese, flour and eggs. Gnocchi is typically made with potato. So that got me wanting some cavatelli. Apparently Seattle is a cavatelli free zone. I will admit I suppose I could have tried going to Pike Place Market and checked to see if DeLaurenti’s had them. Or I could have tried, Remo Borracchini’s (which to me, is not an italian bakery. When I asked if they had pignole cookies, they looked at me like my hair was on fire. And their canoli’s are severely lacking. But I hear they make one heck of a cake.), but I just didn’t want to pay a ton of money for something that costs a total of $3 for the ingredients. So I decided to see if I could find a cavatelli recipe and make them.
I found an awesome recipe online. The dough took a minute to make.
The cutting and rolling is what took the most time. But in the end it was worth it.
