Corteccia
Pasta and Pizza • Italian
Description
https://www.jamieoliver.com/recipes/pasta-recipes/corteccia/ "Corteccia, which means 'tree bark', is also known as cavatelli, which comes from the Italian word meaning 'little hollows'. This is a great dish to make with kids, and each unique piece turns out rough, bumpy, and perfect for holding sauce. You will need 100 grams of flour per person, so feel free to adjust this recipe according to your preferences. Served with this spicy pesto sauce, it is one of my wife's favorite pasta dishes. In the 'Tips' section, I also provided you with an alternative sauce combination that all kids go crazy for. Enjoy!"
