About Cavatelli
Cavatelli is a type of pasta originating from Southern Italy, often associated with the regions of Puglia and Molise. These small, shell-shaped noodles are traditionally made from semolina flour and water, though some variations include ricotta for added tenderness. Cavatelli’s ridged structure allows it to hold sauces well, making it a versatile choice for pairing with vegetables, proteins, or hearty tomato-based sauces. Nutritionally, cavatelli is a good source of carbohydrates, providing energy, but is lower in protein compared to pasta made with eggs. Whole-grain or gluten-free versions can be healthier alternatives, offering more fiber and nutrients. While cavatelli is low in fat, its nutritional value depends on the ingredients and sauces added during preparation. As part of a balanced meal, it can be a satisfying and wholesome option in moderation, reflecting the simple yet nourishing essence of Italian cuisine.
