My grandmother used to make 2 types, one with eggs and one without...the one with egge looked like sombrero's and she made each one by hand rolling it with a knife and over her thumb...used to have it every Sunday..and the other is called Cavatelli...and she made those by making thin ropes and running your 2 or 3 fingers to carve out a little dent in in...I used to make but have gotten lazy...even have a mahine to make them..delicious..
