Cavatelli Dough
Method
Cavatelli Preparation
Make the Dough
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt. Make a well in the center and add the ricotta cheese and the egg. Using a fork, gradually incorporate the flour into the ricotta until a dough starts to form.
Knead the Dough
Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface. Knead gently for about 2-3 minutes, until the dough is smooth but still slightly sticky. If the dough is too sticky, sprinkle a bit more flour as needed.
Rest the Dough
Wrap the kneaded dough in plastic wrap and let it rest for at least 30 minutes at room temperature. This will help relax the gluten and make it easier to roll out.
