Typical dish from Puglia in South Italy. You can make it just with your hands or a knife. This recipe can be used for all the pasta shapes. All that is needed is a food processor with a special tool with pasta shapes or a southern Italian grandma that shared with you her ability to shape the dough with her hands or simple kitchen tools.
