Organic Cavatappi with Creamy Potatoes
Rosemary-scented potatoes dance through the corkscrews of our Organic Cavatappi in this one-pan dish. Fresh buffalo mozzarella and Pecorino Romano help make it anything but ordinary.
The best dinners are equal amounts of what’s on the table and the pause it creates in the middle of a busy week. The day may still be there, waiting to be finished, but for now it can sit quietly in the background. Just a familiar rhythm in the kitchen, and an evening that slows down enough to feel like your own.

Cavatappi
Directions
- 1
Add 5 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil to the pan and put it on your stove at a medium heat. Next add the carrot, celery and onion to your pan and let this cook for 10 minutes before adding a sprig of fresh rosemary. Cook for another 10 minutes stirring often.

Remove the rosemary and add the diced potatoes, letting them cook for at least 10 minutes before pouring 1 cup vegetable stock over the top.
- 3
Once the potatoes are tender or soft enough, mash them down and mix them well to combine.

Now add the Organic Cavatappi pasta to the pan and pour a ladle full of vegetable stock over the top.
- 5
Cook the pasta for 8 minutes as shown on the pasta packet, stirring quite often to make sure it cooks well and evenly.

After 8 minutes, add 2 tablespoons of Pecorino Romano cheese before tossing to combine. Break up one fresh buffalo mozzarella and add it to the pan. This should melt nicely and thicken up the mixture.
