The Italian art of cooking pasta: cavatelli with broccoli and crab meat

Hi, this is the twentieth post about the authentic Italian recipes.

The last post was about “pasta e broccoli”.  Now it’s time to show you another recipe with more ingredients:

pasta with broccoli and crab meat. The recipe is easy-to-do and  very tasty. It’s an authentic recipe from Sicily, Italy.

Cavatelli with broccoli and crab meat

Choosing the right ingredients you’ll be able to astonish your guests.

We made this recipe with a particular kind of fresh pasta called cavatelli but you can use other short dry pasta shapes.

Cavatelli are made in the south of Italy and they are known with different names in Apulia, Calabria or Sicily. In Sicily they are called cavatiddi or gnocculi or gnocchitti.

If you prefer cavatelli you can buy them here or in other shop on line.

Tomorrow we are going to show you a simple  menu so you can put into practice our advice about the art of Italian cooking and, eventually, plan an Italian-style dinner party.
