Product Information

Since 2005, Pastificio Benedetto Cavalieri has been appointed Learning Centre of Slow Food University of Gastronomic Sciences of Pollenzo (Piemonte). The thematic one week seminars on pasta-making are attended by students who come from the five continents. Each pasta shape is made with bronze dies, which gives a rough surface to the finished pasta allowing it to absorb sauces better. The meatballs are fried and then cooked in a tomato sauce made from onion and either fresh tomatoes and passata or you can use just passata (Italian canned tomato puree). Total cooking time is only 30-45 minutes if you cook the pasta whilst the meatballs are simmering in the sauce. Freeze for later or cook in advance. There are a number of typical 2 in 1 Italian pasta recipes which are popular on Sundays and holidays!

In the autumn of 1626, during a trip from Parma to Milan, he fell ill with the gout, from which he had suffered since childhood and which was to plague him to the end of his life. This illness kept him at Milan for a number of months.

Since the founding Benedetto Cavalieri aims at innovation and quality using up to date machinery for kneading, pressing and drawing. To prevent the drying of pasta in the streets, a customary practice at the time, he introduced a new system called “ Metodo Cirillo”, which consisted in the drying of pasta in special rooms, provided with a hot water heater and a fan, whose times were marked by the Capo-pastaio’s experience. This resulted in more than 100 letters from Cavalieri to Galileo in the period 1619- 1641. Galileo did not answer all of them, but sent an occasional letter to Cavalieri; of these all but a very few have disappeared.

Cavalieri's work of interest is his 'Specchio ustorio', printed in 1632 and reprinted in 1650. In this work Cavalieri concerned himself with reflecting mirrors for the express purpose of resolving the age-long dispute of how Archimedes allegedly burned the Roman fleet that was besieging Syracuse in 212 B.C. The book, however, goes well beyond the stated purpose and systematically treats the properties of conic sections, reflection of light, sound, heat (and cold! ), kinematic and dynamic problems, and the idea of the reflecting telescope.
