Steps:
- Heat a saucepan over medium heat. Add the oil and butter and cook until foaming. Add the onions, season with a little salt and saute until translucent, about 10 minutes. Add the tomato paste and cook for another minute. Add the crushed red pepper, garlic and some salt and pepper. Cook for 15 more seconds. Add the vodka and deglaze the pan. Add the crushed tomatoes and simmer until the alcohol smell subsides, then add the cream. Let it cook down until it is slightly reduced and flavorful, about 8 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
- Meanwhile, bring a pot of water to a boil and salt generously. Cook the pasta to al dente, 4 to 5 minutes for fresh, or according to the package instructions.
- Toss the sauce with the hot pasta and garnish with fresh basil and grated Parm. Serve with a crusty hunk of Italian bread.
- Combine the 00 and semolina flours with the salt on a clean working surface, form into a mound and make a well in the center. Combine the water, olive oil and salt and add the mixture a little at a time (see Cook's Note). Using a fork, start to mix the dry ingredients into the wet until a shaggy mass forms. Knead vigorously until the dough is smooth, elastic and bounces back when pressed, about 10 minutes.
- Cut the dough in half and work with one piece at a time (cover the other piece with a clean, damp kitchen towel). Using a bench scraper or knife, cut a walnut-sized piece of dough and roll it into a thin rope about 1/3 inch in diameter. Using the 4 fingers of your hand (no thumb), roll the rope of dough back and forth until it is a long, slender, tube-like shape (but not enclosed like a tube). Halve the pieces of pasta lengthwise. Set aside on a clean town sprinkled with semolina flour. Repeat with the remaining dough. Rest the pasta for 30 minutes.
- To cook, generously salt a large pot of boiling water. Add the cavatelli and cook until al dente, 4 to 5 minutes. Drain and use with your sauce recipe of choice.

Steps:
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the broccoli and cook until very tender, 7 to 8 minutes. Remove the broccoli to a paper towel-lined plate using a slotted spoon, reserving the water in the pot. Add the pasta to the boiling water, stir and cook as the label directs for al dente. Reserve 1 cup cooking water, then drain.
- Meanwhile, pat the broccoli dry and transfer to a bowl. Using a fork or potato masher, mash the broccoli until mostly smooth but still slightly chunky.
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and red pepper flakes and cook until starting to sizzle and the garlic is just browning, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the broccoli and combine with a rubber spatula, lightly mashing it with the oil and cooking down the broccoli a bit further, 2 to 3 minutes.
- Add the pasta and 1/2 cup of the reserved cooking water to the skillet. Stir to combine and add the cheese. Continue to fold the broccoli and pasta together until the sauce coats the pasta, adding more cooking water as needed to loosen, 2 to 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Turn off the heat and stir in the lemon juice.
- Divide the pasta among bowls. Top with more cheese and drizzle with olive oil.

- Creamy Cavatappi Pasta. This creamy cavatappi pasta recipe has a secret: it’s impossibly creamy but doesn’t have a single drop of cream! Instead of heavy cream, you’ll make a wonderful cauliflower sauce infused with six gloves of garlic.
- Cavatappi Pasta With Basil Marinara. Why use bland red sauce from a jar when you can make your own in minutes? Homemade red sauce is a real game-changer on pasta night.
- Pesto Cavatappi (Noodles & Company Copycat) Noodles & Company is a popular fast-food Italian restaurant known for its pesto cavatappi. It’s their most popular dish on the menu, and for a very good reason.
- Cheesy Bacon Cavatappi Pasta. What I love most about this cheesy bacon cavatappi pasta casserole is that it’s easy and always a crowd-pleaser. For a double punch of bacon flavor, it combines cream of bacon soup with milk, Parmesan, and mozzarella cheese.
- 3-Cheese Cavatappi. Nothing goes better with pasta (especially cavatappi pasta) than cheese. So, the next time you’re craving mac and cheese, give elbow macaroni the night off and swap it out for cavatappi.
- Cavatappi With Creamy Tomato Sauce. Sure, this creamy tomato sauce and cavatappi recipe look simple. But it hosts surprisingly complex flavors. The homemade creamy tomato sauce is so good, you’ll toss out any cans or jars you have in the cupboard (or, you know, donate them to avoid waste!).
- Cavatappi Alfredo With Broccoli and Chicken. Forget all about fettuccine Alfredo, and try this cavatappi chicken Alfredo instead! This recipe pairs a creamy and indulgent homemade Alfredo sauce with fresh veggies and tender strips of grilled chicken.
- Spicy Sausage Cavatappi. Looking for a recipe with a little heat? This spicy sausage cavatappi earns a 1-2 punch of spice thanks to hot Italian sausage and a sprinkling of red pepper flakes.
- Copycat Carrabba’s Cavatappi Amatriciana. It’s hard to narrow down one dish I love most from Carrabba’s. They’re all so amazing, but their Cavatappi Amatriciana tops my list.
- Creamy Beef Cavatappi. The best thing about this creamy beef cavatappi is that it’s perfect for families on a budget. It calls for ground beef (which is super affordable) plus simple ingredients that create a mouthwatering meal in just 30 minutes.
