CARRABBA'S CAVATAPPI AMATRICIANA (SIDE DISH PASTA)

Carrabba's Cavatappi Amatriciana (Side Dish Pasta) image

This is an approximate verision of Carrabba's. This is served in the restaurant as a side dish but would be just fine as a main dish when pancetta is added in. Cavatappi pasta is a short tubed corkscrew or S-shaped pasta. It can be hard to find but I was able to find it called "Twists" by the pasta brand DaVinci (blue bag).
