Orecchiette (pronounced [orek?kj?tte]; singular orecchietta; from Italian orecchia 'ear', and -etta 'small') are a pasta typical of Apulia, a region of Southern Italy. Their name comes from their shape, which resembles a small ear. An orecchietta has the shape of a small dome, with its center thinner than its edge, and with a rough surface. Like other kinds of pasta, orecchiette are made with durum wheat and water. Eggs are rarely used. In traditional Southern Italian home cooking, the dough is rolled, then cut into cubes. Each cube is pressed with a knife, dragging it on the board and making it curl (making a cavatello). The shape is then inverted over the thumb. The traditional dish from Apulia is orecchiette alle cime di rapa, a dish of orecchiette and rapini, also called turnip tops. Broccoli or cauliflower are also widely used as an alternative. Particularly around Capitanata and Salento, orecchiette are traditionally also dressed with tomato sauce (al sugo), sometimes with miniature meatballs or a sprinkling of ricotta or ricotta forte. Other names used to indicate the "Orecchiette" pasta shape: Strascinati. Chiancarelle.  

Götz is a German middleman who rebrands machines produced by other companies;

for example the combined machine Götz P55R is none other than the combined machine Dominioni Punto & Pasta P55R. In the same way, the Götz Micra extruder is just the Italgi Micra extruder, and so on.
