Questions people ask

What kind of dough works in a cavatelli maker?
A firm semolina or ricotta dough rolled into a thin rope or strip usually works best. Soft or sticky dough tends to jam the rollers.
Can it make other shapes?
Some models include alternate rollers for gnocchetti or malloreddus. Others make a single shape, so checking the listing is worthwhile.
