Abstract: A pasta stuffing machine includes a conveyor having mold cups affixed thereto. The mold cups are openable and closeable. A pasta shell is inserted into each mold cup. The conveyor moves the mold cups and pasta shells to a filling station at which a pasta shell filling is inserted within the pasta shell while the mold cup is open. A folding station causes the mold cup to close to fold leaves of the pasta shell on top of one another and around the pasta shell filling. The mold cups are opened downstream of the folding station to allow the pasta shell to exit the mold cup. A rolling station rolls the pasta shell and the pasta shell filling into a final shape.
