I wouldn't translate it... :-) -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 5 mins (2004-12-10 15:26:02 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Cavatelli is a kind of pasta popular in southern Italy and Sicily. It derives its name from the verb cavare, to pull away. The pasta dough, once only made with hard wheat flour and water, but today with other flour, is rolled out into long ropes that are cut off in small segments to form small morsels that are then flattened into disks with the thumb to form a pasta called orecchiette. These disks are rolled away, doubling up on themselves, to become cavatelli. Cavatieddi is the Apulian dialect name for this rustic dish typical of home cooking. If you can\'t quite picture how cavatelli are made try renting the Francis Ford Coppola Film Godfather III, where, in one erotic scene, the Corleone cousins make cavatelli. La ruca is the dialect term for arugula. |
