$Chef Perdue shows us his freshly made cavatelli. Check the rest of the gallery pictures and captions to learn how it\'s done.$

Chef Perdue begins with flouring the board and the pasta dough.

Uncle Vic uses his fingers to spread out the pasta dough.

Using a sharp knife, Chef Perdue cuts a strip of pasta dough.

Chef Perdue then cuts the pasta dough into small pieces.

$Each small piece of pasta dough then gets a quick press and roll across the board with Chef\'s thumb.$ $The slightly flattened and curled pasta dough flips over Chef\'s thumb.$

Rows and rows of perfectly round, identical meatballs.

Chef Perdue tops a dish with some cheese in the kitchen.

$We can\'t resist good bread.$

On Tuesday, we took a look at some food from Viaggio and Chef Victor Perdue ("Uncle Vic"). Today, let's take a closer look behind the scenes.
