CACCAVELLE (singular is CACCAVELLA)

This big boy pasta is currently the world's largest pasta shape. One 'caccavella' measures approximately 11 cm across at its widest point.

Produced by Gragnano from Naples in the south of Italy, caccavelle are delicious when stuffed (i.e., with bolognese sauce or fried chopped eggplant), covered in a simple tomato or béchamel sauce, and cooked in a hot oven for 20 minutes. Buono!

Caccavelli alla valli

1 box of "Caccavelli" Gragnano
250 g of a mixture of ground beef and Italian sausage (casings removed)
200 g fresh buffalo mozzarella
120 g fresh ricotta.
1 egg yolk
3 tablespoons Parmesan cheese, grated,
Salt and good quality olive oil according to your taste
2 cups of your favourite pasta sauce
3 tablespoons pesto sauce

***********
In a large saucepan bring salted water to a boil. Add Caccavella and cook for approximately 15 minutes as directed by manufacturer.

To make stuffing saute meat mixture without oil, add a touch of salt. Drain off any fat and allow to cool in a separate bowl. To the cooked meat mixture add fresh mozzarella (cut into small cubes), fresh ricotta cheese, egg yolk, a handful of grated Parmesan cheese and a pinch of salt.  Mix well and fill caccavella.

Make your favourite pasta sauce. This works best with a sauce with a more liquid consistency. To this add pesto sauce. Set aside.

In individual casseroles place caccavella in the centre and fill up the vessel almost to top edge of the pasta with the sauce, Bake in a 350F oven for 30 minutes, serve hot. Sprinkle with additional grated Parmesan. Drizzle with good quality olive oil.

We dedicate this poem to ALL MOTHERS...

MUM

Mum, it’s hard to find the words to say,
How much you mean to me,
But if it wasn’t for your love and care,
I don’t know where I'd be.

How did you do it all, mum,
Be a chauffeur, cook and friend,
Yet find time to be a playmate,
I just can’t comprehend.

“Mother” is such a simple word,
But to me there’s meaning seldom heard,
For everything I am today,
My mothers love showed me the way.

Nobody’s equal to you, mum,
With you in my life, I'm blessed,
I love you so, and I want you to know,
I think you’re the very best.

Words cannot say how I love you, mum,
And just how much I owe,
Please know that I’ll always be there for you too,
In the high times and low.
