The Cicatelli Senatore Cappelli Organic Agricultural art

Arteagricola's Organic Senatore Cappelli Cicatelli are a traditional Southern Italian pasta shape, made with 100% Senatore Cappelli durum wheat semolina grown on the farm's fields. With an elongated, concave shape—23mm long and 5mm in diameter—the cicatelli are born from the ancient practice of "digging" the pasta with your fingertips on a wooden board, creating small boats that generously hold any sauce. Bronze-drawing creates the characteristic rough, porous surface, while slow drying at below 32°C preserves the ancient grain's aromas and nutrients. With a cooking time of 11-13 minutes, the cicatelli maintain an excellent hold and a consistently well-defined structure, imparting the unmistakable aroma of ripe wheat and homemade bread that characterizes the entire ARTE line.
 
 
 

The roots of these Cicatelli are deep in tradition

Cicatelli—also called "cavatelli" in other regions—are a pasta shape deeply rooted in the culinary traditions of Molise, Puglia, Basilicata, and Campania. The name derives from the act of "cavare" (removing) the pasta: a small cylinder of dough was dragged with one or two fingers across a floured table, creating the characteristic curved shape. This manual technique was a tradition of Southern Italian housewives, passed down from generation to generation as a domestic ritual on Sundays and holidays. Traditionally, cicatelli were made with local durum wheat semolina and water, without eggs, becoming a humble yet nutritious dish of peasant cuisine. Arteagricola reinterprets this artisanal heritage with Senatore Cappelli wheat selected in 1915 by Nazareno Strampelli, revitalizing one of Southern Italy's most beloved pasta shapes.
 
 
 

Choosing Cicatelli Senatore Cappelli means taking care of yourself

Senatore Cappelli wheat, with its more delicate gluten protein structure compared to modern high-yield wheats, offers greater digestibility and is often tolerated even by those with non-celiac sensitivities. Whole-grain milling with wheat germ guarantees an excellent protein content (13,5%), important fiber (3,4%), and a rich micronutrient profile: potassium, iron, magnesium, calcium, selenium, sodium, beta-carotene, as well as essential lipids, amino acids, and vitamins B and E. Mineralized water from the Sele spring, slow drying at low temperatures, and ARTE organic certification complete this authentic, nutritious pasta, deeply rooted in Italian agricultural traditions. A healthy first course that doesn't sacrifice flavor.
 
 
 

How to Best Use: Organic Senatore Cappelli Cicatelli

• CICATELLI WITH WILD Arugula AND CHERRY TOMATOES (MOLISANO-LUCANA RECIPE)
  The traditional recipe of Molise and Basilicata: sautéed Organic Datterino Tomato in a pan with a clove of garlic in Stone-Ground Novello Extra Virgin Olive Oil, add the cicatelli drained al dente and a generous handful of Rucola . Complete with plenty of Aged Goat Cacioricotta freshly grated cheese and a sprinkling of black pepper: an authentic dish from the heart of the South.
• CICATELLI WITH SAUSAGE SAUCE AND TURNIP TOPS
  The concavity of the cicatelli perfectly captures the meat sauces: brown Organic Sausage from Tuscia crumbled with Organic Sicilian chili pepper, united organic broccoli rabe Blanch and sauté everything together with the drained cicatelli. Sprinkle with Organic Aged Caciocavallo Reserve grated: a rustic first course with great personality, which recalls the authentic flavours of rural Lucania.
• BAKED CICATELLI WITH RAGOUT AND MILK CHEESES
  The format lends itself magnificently to gratinated cooking: prepare a ragù with Organic Tomato Pulp, Organic Red Onion e Biodynamic Veal Roast chopped. Alternate the cicatelli with cubes of Organic Caciotta Filata and a generous rain of Marquis Pecorino Canestrato, baked in the oven until golden brown: a festive dish that smells of cooking for special occasions.
