Instructions
Making Turmeric Sunbeam Cavatelli is a fun and rewarding process. Follow these simple steps to create this stunning dish:
1. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, ground turmeric, and salt. Mix well.
2. Add Egg: Create a well in the center of the flour mixture and crack the egg into it.
3. Incorporate Water: Gradually add water while mixing, until the dough begins to form.
4. Knead Dough: Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
5. Rest the Dough: Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and let it rest for 20 minutes at room temperature.
6. Roll Out Dough: Divide the dough into smaller portions. Roll out each portion into thin sheets (about 1/8 inch thick) using a rolling pin or pasta machine.
7. Cut Cavatelli: Use a knife or a pasta cutter to cut the dough into small rectangles. Then, use your thumb to roll each piece over a fork or a cavatelli board to shape them.
8. Cook Cavatelli: Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the cavatelli and cook for about 2-3 minutes, or until they float to the surface.
9. Drain and Toss: Drain the cavatelli and toss them with a drizzle of olive oil to prevent sticking.
10. Serve Immediately: Plate the cavatelli and garnish with fresh herbs and grated Parmesan cheese if desired.
