Cavatelli are a type of pasta. The term cavatelli has two meanings: the most common meaning is small pasta shells that look like miniature hot dog buns.[1] It is similar in shape to casarecce, but shorter in length.[citation needed] The name is less frequently used for a type of dumpling made with ricotta.[1]

In Italy, cavatelli are especially popular in the Avellino province.[citation needed]
