I think saying it makes
I think saying it makes orecchiette is a bit of a stretch. It basically only makes cavatelli- one with some diamonds imprinted, one with stripes, one with nothing. To make orecchiette, you'd have to unroll a cavatelli to open it up. So, truly, I'm only using to make the standard striped cavatelli because AIN'T NOBODY GOT TIME FOR DAT! Regardless, the machine is excellent, heavy duty, works flawlessly and was a great buy. Thank you for the great item.
