INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing the Cavatelli Maker by CucinaPro. Please follow
the instructions carefully when using your cavatelli maker. If you follow the
included instructions you’ll be on your way to delicious homemade cavatelli
in no time. Failure to follow instructions may result in misshapen pasta,
clumping and other difficulties.
We hope you enjoy your new cavatelli maker!
Happy Cooking!
USING THE CAVATELLI MAKER
• Clamp the maker to a table or dough board.
• Roll your dough to a thickness of about " inch and cut strips to about
½" inch to ¾" inch wide. IMPORTANT: If dough is too wide your cavatelli
will get stuck or will be misshapen as it passes through the rollers.
• Flour the roller prior to making your cavatelli.
• Flour each strip generously before rolling and pinch the end flat that
you are going to insert into the rollers. Turn the handle with your one
hand while guiding the strip with the other hand. You can use a plate
or a bowl or a baking pan to catch the cavatelli.
• The cavatellis are ready to cook and serve or you can refrigerate or
freeze them for later use.
• If the dough is sticking to the machine, it is probably too soft. Add more
flour to the dough and knead, or allow strips to dry a bit.
• After using the machine, let air dry and use a brush, cloth or canned
air to clean off any flour or dried dough particles. NEVER immerse the
maker in water.
DO NOT PLACE MAKER IN WATER OR ANY LIQUID.
DO NOT PLACE IN DISHWASHER.

IMPORTANT TIP: WHEN FEEDING THE DOUGH THROUGH
THE ROLLERS, DO NOT ALLOW THE DOUGH TO ROLL
NEAR THE EDGE OF THE ROLLERS. ROLLING NEAR THE
EDGES MAY RESULT IN MISSHAPEN PASTA, CLUMPING
AND OTHER DIFFICULTIES. FOLLOW THE DIAGRAM FOR
PERFECT CAVATELLI.

FOR ALL RECIPES:
Sift your flour into a mixing bowl and make a well in the flour to put the
remaining ingredients in. Begin to press together and knead with your
hands. When the dough comes together, remove from the bowl. Dust the
table with flour and knead the dough for about 2 minutes, if it’s sticky add
more flour. Cut your dough in halves and cover with a dampened cloth and
allow it to rest for at least 10 minutes.
Roll your dough to a thickness of about " inch and cut strips to about ½"
inch to ¾" inch wide. Flour each strip generously before rolling and pinch
the end flat that you are going to insert into the rollers. Turn the handle
with your one hand while guiding the strip with the other hand. You can
use a plate, a bowl, or a baking pan to catch the cavatelli.
COOKING CAVATELLI
Use a 4 to 8 quart size pot and bring water to a boil. Carefully add the
fresh cavatelli to the pot and cook for about 5 minutes. If your cavatelli
is frozen, you can cook it without thawing; it will take an extra 5 to 10
minutes to cook.
You can also bake it. Preheat your oven to 400˚F, put your cavatelli in
a greased baking dish, cover with sauce and bake covered for 15 to 20
minutes.
