Cavatelli Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Cook the Cavatelli

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

  2. 2

    Sauté the Seafood

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add shrimp and bay scallops, season with salt and pepper, and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until they are just cooked through.

  3. 3

    Add Crab and Vegetables

    Stir in the crab meat, cherry peppers, and olives. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until heated through.

  4. 4

    Combine with Sauce

    Add the Calabrian pomodoro sauce to the seafood mixture and bring to a simmer. Gently fold in the cooked cavatelli, allowing it to absorb the flavors.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Plate the cavatelli mixture and top with whipped ricotta. Sprinkle with fennel pollen and additional black pepper to taste before serving.
