Tortiglioni

What is tortiglioni?

The name tortiglioni is also originally derived from the Latin word for “torquere,” which means to twist. The twist can be seen from the ridges of the pasta, which gently spiral vertically around the perimeter of the pasta tube. Tortiglioni is one of the many variations of maccheroni, one of the most famous pasta shapes from Naples. This Italian pasta has a substantial texture and heft, and pairs well with hearty ingredients and thick sauces. Tortiglioni's hollow interior and the ribbed edges that run both inside and outside of the tube pasta are designed to catch all the flavor of your favorite sauces.
