SHAPE

Cicatelli, also called Cavatielli in dialect, is a typical pasta of the Molise culinary tradition. In the past, this cut was obtained by stretching the dough by hand until it got to an elongated shape with curly edges. The long tradition of this pasta shape is handed down through the generations. Today it is made with the Baresina machine, which preserves the same silhouette and features of the homemade Cicatelli pasta.
