htf do they make Penne noodles

I get that it’s an extrusion machine of some sort. I don’t understand how they extrude with the hollow center without splitting the outer circle. I’ve had so many people try to explain this and I’ve tried to find videos and my brain just can’t make it work. How do they design the machine that forces it into a ring like how does the center piece attach to outer shape of the mold without affecting negative space in between the two that the pasta comes out of? I hope I’m explaining why I’m confused correctly

Here is a video of the extruder working. Be warned, this is part of 17 video series into dry pasta. If you have time, the whole thing is a wild ride. You will learn tons.
