Cavatini image

I found this recipe several years ago in Southern Living magazine and it is wonderful! My Mom really loves this so I always have to make it for her on special occasions. This really makes a HUGE amount...but the ingredients could easily be cut in half. Better yet, one dish could be frozen for later use. Enjoy!

This looks way too complicated. I'm going to order takeout instead.

This recipe was a lifesaver! I had some leftover cavatini and didn't know what to do with it. This turned out great.

I'm allergic to tomatoes. Can I use a different sauce?

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my cavatini turned out really dry. Maybe I didn't add enough sauce?

Not a fan. The sauce was too bland and the pasta was overcooked. Maybe I did something wrong, but I won't be making this again.

Great recipe! Easy to follow and the results were delicious. I added a bit of extra garlic and red pepper flakes for a little more spice.

Cavatini came out beautifully! The sauce was rich and flavorful, and the pasta was cooked perfectly. A great weeknight meal that the whole family enjoyed.
