I believe the answer is:

fettucini

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'making pasta' is the definition.
'fettucini' can be an answer for 'pasta' (I've seen this before). I am not sure about the 'making' bit.

'finite cut made' is the wordplay.
'made' is an anagram indicator.
'finite'+'cut'='finitecut'
'finitecut' is an anagram of 'FETTUCINI'.

'when' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for fettucini that I've seen before include "Ribbon-like pasta" , "Ribbon pasta" , "Italian course" , "Of gold" , "long ribbons" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
