Regional ItalianCavatelli are a home-style shape across Basilicata, Puglia and Molise, and they give a menu a regional touch without explanation. Pair them with a pork or lamb ragù, with broccoli, anchovy and toasted breadcrumbs, or with sautéed cardoncelli. The hollow traps small pieces of sauce, so cut meat and vegetables fine. As a dry-store item they can stand in for fresh pasta on a set menu at a lower cost per plate.

Cavatelli look handmade, which draws shoppers who want something beyond spaghetti and penne. The organic claim and the Basilicata origin are simple points for staff to share at the counter. They pair with what many stores already stock: ragù jars, greens in oil, southern cheeses. A natural second purchase for customers who already buy orecchiette.
