Visiting my local salumeria for sopressata, I found a toy. It's a hand cranked cavatelli maker. Single use,yes, and sometimes uneven, depending if you feed the dough right
It's nice to fiddle with this finnicky machine, twirling out noodles in it's bareboned, essentialy handpowered way.
For the batch in the photo above, I used a fantastic formula for eggless pasta, 100 percent semolina (durum) with 40 percent boiled water. Once given a good knead by hand or machine, let the dough rest a around half an hour. Then if you're lucky to have a machine like this... or this model, or some other method... make cavatelli!
