Frequently Asked Questions
What type of cheese should I use for the wheel when cooking the Cavatelli?
A good option is a semi-hard cheese like Parmigiano-Reggiano or Pecorino Romano, as they melt beautifully and create a creamy coating for the pasta.
How do I know when the pork is cooked properly in this recipe?
Cook the pork until it reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) and is no longer pink in the center; it should also have a nice golden-brown crust.
Can I use canned tomatoes instead of fresh in the Inspirational Cavatelli?
Yes, canned tomatoes can be used; just make sure to choose high-quality whole or diced tomatoes for the best flavor and adjust the cooking time as needed.
