Spicy Sausage Cavatappi

Twisted Pasta with Bold, Layered Flavor

Our Spicy Sausage Cavatappi begins with perfectly cooked, corkscrew-shaped pasta. The ridges hold the sauce beautifully, ensuring every bite is packed with flavor. House-made sausage brings a savory, slightly spicy kick, while fresh basil adds aromatic brightness. Parmesan and mozzarella combine for creamy, melty texture, making the dish indulgent yet balanced. Toasted pine nuts add a satisfying crunch and nutty undertone, rounding out each forkful.

Vodka San Marzano Tomato Sauce

A rich vodka San Marzano tomato sauce coats the pasta and sausage, adding subtle creaminess and a hint of acidity. The vodka gently lifts the tomato’s natural sweetness while the sauce simmers to develop depth. As the sauce clings to the cavatappi, each bite balances heat, richness, and tang. Transitioning from the sausage to the cheese and nuts, the flavors layer perfectly without overwhelming the palate.
