Chef's Notes
Semolina is the absolute monarch of pasta flours, granting that signature yellow hue and magnificent chew. Do not substitute it with all-purpose flour unless you want a sad, gummy disappointment.
Pro Tip
When shaping your cavatelli with the knife, apply just enough pressure to curl the dough without slicing straight through it. A light touch makes all the difference between a masterpiece and a mangled mess.
Kitchen Catastrophe Warning
Beware the catastrophic flood of sticky dough balls left uncovered in a drafty room, transforming into petrified wood chips before you even reach the boiling water stage!
