Ingredient IQ
Fresh pasta cooks faster than dried pasta, so it’s ideal for weeknight dinners. We source all our fresh pasta, including this cavatelli, from Talluto’s, a famous family-owned Philadelphia-based business that spans generations. The company makes toothsome, flavorful pasta in the tradition founder Joseph Talluto set forth more than a half century ago. We’re thrilled to have a partnership with this incredible business.

Instructions

2-serving instructions (4-serving modifications in red)

Wash produce before use

1

Soak the mushrooms

Bring a medium sauce pot of generously salted water to a boil for the cavatelli. Separate the cavatelli so they don’t clump together during cooking.
  • In a small bowl, soak the porcini mushrooms in 1 cup [2 cups] very hot tap water until softened, 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Remove the mushrooms, reserving the soaking liquid. Thinly slice the mushrooms.
While the mushrooms soak, prepare the sausage.

2

Prep and cook the sausage

  • Cut a small corner from the sausage packaging and drain off any excess liquid. Transfer to a plate; pat dry with a paper towel.
In a large frying pan over medium-high heat, warm 1 to 2 tablespoons oil until hot but not smoking. Add the sausage and pine nuts, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring to break up the meat, until browned and cooked through, 5 to 7 minutes.
While the sausage cooks, cook the cavatelli.

3

Cook the cavatelli; finish the dish

  • Strip the parsley leaves from the stems; coarsely chop the leaves for garnish.
To the pot of boiling water, add the cavatelli and cook, stirring occasionally, until just tender, 3 to 5 minutes. Drain the cavatelli.
To the pan with the sausage, stir in the mushrooms, reserved soaking liquid, and vegan “cheese” blend, season with salt and pepper, and cook until the sauce is thickened slightly, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the cavatelli and mixed greens. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Serve

Transfer the cavatelli and sauce to individual bowls, garnish with the parsley and as many chile flakes as you like, and serve.
