Abstract: It is described an apparatus (4) for manufacturing "ravioli", comprising a device (2) for producing "ravioli" which are formed by the stuffing which comes from a feeding conduit (16) and by a sheet of pastry (10) which contains said stuffing and is fed by a proper guide (30), with the feature that said apparatus (4) for manufacturing "ravioli" is prepared to replace said device (2) with a device (34) to obtain "tortellini" having a shape as if they were hand-made. This device (34) comprises means (A) for forming "tortellini", means (B) for ejecting them and means (6) for blocking the device itself on the apparatus in such a position that said device (34), upon being applied to the machine, results to be central with respect to both the conduit (16) which feeds the stuffing and the sheet of pastry (10), with the conduit (16) being a part of the apparatus (4) for manufacturing "ravioli".
