Method

Pasta

  1. 1

    Make the Cavatelli Dough

    In a mixing bowl, combine rye flour, semolina flour, and a pinch of salt. Create a well in the center and add eggs and water. Mix until a dough forms.

  2. 2

    Knead the Dough

    Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth. Wrap in plastic wrap and let it rest for 30 minutes.

  3. 3

    Shape the Cavatelli

    Roll the dough into thin logs, then cut into small pieces. Use a fork to create ridges on each piece. Set aside.

Braised Lamb

  1. 4

    Sear the Lamb

    In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Season lamb with salt and pepper, then sear on all sides until browned. Remove and set aside.

  2. 5

    Sauté Vegetables

    In the same pot, add chopped onion, garlic, and carrot. Cook for about 5 minutes until softened.

  3. 6

    Braised Lamb Cooking

    Return the lamb to the pot. Add red wine, beef broth, and thyme. Bring to a simmer, cover, and cook on low heat for 2 hours until lamb is tender.

Roasted Cabbage

  1. 7

    Prepare the Cabbage

    Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). On a baking sheet, toss cabbage wedges with olive oil, salt, and black pepper.

  2. 8

    Roast the Cabbage

    Roast in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes until edges are crispy and tender.

    Prepare the Mustard Cream
