Preparation and Cooking

1. Cook the Cavatelli

In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook the cavatelli pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

Stir in the pesto sauce and heavy cream into the skillet with the tomatoes. Cook for another 3-4 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.

4. Mix in Pasta

Add the cooked cavatelli to the skillet and toss well to coat the pasta with the creamy pesto sauce. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

5. Serve

Plate the creamy pesto cavatelli and crumble ricotta salata on top. Garnish with fresh basil leaves before serving.
