Steps:
- Heat a saucepan over medium heat. Add the oil and 1 tablespoon of the butter and cook until foaming. Add the onions, season with a little salt and saute about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook 1 minute more. Next, add the mushrooms and some salt and pepper and cook until the mushrooms have released all their liquid, about 5 minutes more. Add the peas and cook until heated through, another 2 minutes. Keep warm.
- Meanwhile, bring a pot of water to a boil and salt generously. Cook the cavatelli pasta to al dente, 4 to 5 minutes for fresh, or according to the package instructions. Set a strainer over a large heatproof measuring cup in the sink and carefully drain the pasta, reserving 2 cups of pasta water.
- Heat a large saute pan over medium heat and add the remaining 3 tablespoons butter. When melted, add the Pecorino Romano and 1 cup pasta water, whisking vigorously. Whisk in the cream. Add the pasta and toss to coat. Season with salt and add additional pasta water if the sauce is too thick. Stir in the mushroom mixture.
- Serve immediately, garnishing with additional freshly ground black pepper and freshly grated cheese.
- Combine the 00 and semolina flours with the salt in a food processor fitted with a metal blade; pulse a couple times. Add the olive oil and 1 cup room-temperature water to the flour mixture and pulse a few more times. Mix until a shaggy mass forms, then turn out onto a clean surface. Knead vigorously until the dough is smooth, elastic and bounces back when pressed, about 10 minutes.
- Cut the dough in half and work with one piece at a time (cover the other piece with a clean, damp kitchen towel). Using a bench scraper or knife, cut a walnut-sized piece of dough and roll it into a thin rope about 1/3 inch in diameter. Using the 4 fingers of your hand (no thumb), roll the rope of dough back and forth until it is a long, slender, tube-like shape (but not enclosed like a tube). Halve the pieces of pasta. Set aside on a clean towel sprinkled with semolina flour. Repeat with the remaining dough. Rest the pasta for 30 minutes.
- To cook, generously salt a large pot of boiling water. Add the cavatelli and cook until al dente, 4 to 5 minutes. Drain and use with your sauce recipe of choice.

Steps:
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil. Crumble the sausage into the skillet and add the onion. Cook, breaking up the meat with a wooden spoon, until the onion is softened, about 8 minutes. Increase the heat to medium high and cook, stirring, until the sausage and onion are lightly browned, about 2 minutes.
- Push the mixture to the sides of the skillet and add the tomato paste in the middle. Cook the tomato paste, stirring, until darkened, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the rosemary, then stir the tomato paste into the sausage and onion. Stir in the wine and bring to a simmer. Cook until the wine is reduced by half, about 2 minutes. Add 1 1/2 cups of the boiling water and bring the sauce to a boil. Cook until thickened, about 5 minutes.
- While the sauce cooks, add the cavatelli and peas to the remaining boiling water and cook as the cavatelli label directs. Reserve 1/2 cup pasta water, then drain.
- Add the cavatelli, peas and parsley to the sauce and bring to a simmer. Toss to coat, adding more cooking water as needed to loosen. Remove from the heat, sprinkle with the cheese and toss. Divide among bowls and top with more cheese.

PENNE WITH CARROTS, CHANTERELLES AND SAUSAGE
This recipe uses a method in which pasta is cooked like risotto. Sometimes the noodle is toasted first, but always the broth is stirred into the pasta as it cooks. The flavor is intensified and the dish makes its own sauce.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 425 degrees. Massage carrots and chanterelles with 3 tablespoons oil, spread on a baking sheet and roast about 25 minutes, until carrots are tender but not soft. Place stock in a saucepan and keep warm on a slow simmer.
- Meanwhile, heat remaining 1 tablespoon oil in a 4-quart sauté pan. Add onion and sauté on medium until it starts to brown. Add sausage meat, lower heat and cook, breaking it up with a fork until it loses its redness and is uniformly crumbly. Stir in 1/2 cup stock to deglaze pan.
- Stir in pasta. Cook on medium-low, stirring fairly frequently and adding stock 1/2 cup at a time as it's absorbed, until pasta is almost al dente, 20 to 25 minutes.
- Slice roasted carrots 1/2-inch thick and add them and the chanterelles to the pasta. Add remaining stock and season with salt and pepper. Add olives and parsley. The pasta should be quite moist but not soupy. Serve with cheese alongside.

Steps:
- Fill large pot or Dutch Oven half way full of water and add salt if desired. When water is boiling add pasta, stir often, and cook to al dente. Set aside one cup of pasta cooking water before draining. Do not rinse pasta.
- Wash and dry broccoli, trim and peel stems, cut into florets.
- Over medium heat in large skillet, brown and mash ground sausage into bite size pieces. Transfer sausage to a large serving bowl and add broccoli, oil, garlic, and red pepper flakes to pan. Cook for approximately 3 minutes or until garlic is golden brown. Add chicken broth and cook another 3 minutes or until broccoli is tender.
- Add mixture to sausage that was set aside. Add reserved pasta cooking water as needed to add moisture. Season with salt and pepper to taste and add grated cheese if desired.
Tips:
- Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all your ingredients and tools ready. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling later on.
- Choose high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients you use, the better your dish will taste. Look for fresh, seasonal produce and high-quality meats and cheeses.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking meat or vegetables, make sure to give them enough space in the pan so that they can cook evenly. If you overcrowd the pan, the food will steam instead of sear and you'll end up with bland, soggy results.
- Use a heavy-bottomed pot or pan: A heavy-bottomed pot or pan will distribute heat evenly and prevent hot spots. This is especially important when cooking delicate foods like fish or eggs.
- Season your food well: Don't be afraid to season your food with salt and pepper. Salt helps to enhance the flavor of ingredients while pepper adds a bit of spice. You can also use other seasonings like garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika to add flavor to your dishes.
