Anyway "coppare" means "to cut pasta into a shape" and "fare a tocchi" means "to cut into pieces / chunks". The may be using "coppare" with the meaning of "to mould" |

shaped into a cylinder around a knitting needle, dried and cut. Explanation: I wonder if maybe the original isn't correct. There is a kitchen utensil called a coppa pasta, which I found in a recipe for cannoli siciliani. I found the definition to be a pastry cutter, or to cut into a bowl shape. However, fusilli are not cut into a bowl shape. I believe I came across this before and had the same issue translating. Maybe it's some dialectic variation. I wouldn't try to translate it literally, and instead would describe the action of wrapping spaghetti around the knitting needle, drying it and then cutting. Example sentence(s):
