Steps

  • Mix the cavatelli ingredients in a bowl to form a dough and rest in the fridge for one hour.
  • Roll the dough into batons, cut into 1cm pieces, and shape into small shells using a knife.
  • Bring the chicken stock to a boil in a saucepan.
  • Render the 'nduja fat in a pan, then sauté the onion, celery, carrot, chilli, and garlic until soft.
  • Add beans and enough stock to cover, cook for 10 minutes, then mash one third of the beans back in.
  • Stir in the tomatoes and tomato purée, cook for two minutes, and season with salt and pepper.
  • Cook 150g of the pasta in the boiling stock for 8-10 minutes.
  • Drain the pasta and combine with the beans and some stock to achieve a thick consistency.
  • Garnish with basil, sorrel, and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil.
