Cavatappi

Uncommon card · No. 177149

Cavatappi (Italian: [kavaˈtappi]; lit. 'corkscrews'), also known as spirali, cellentani, amori, fusilli rigati, or curly mac, is macaroni formed in a helical tube shape. Certain areas of the US and Canada may also refer to it as "double elbows" or "scoobi doo" pasta, purportedly because of their resemblance to scoubidou. It should not be confused with fusilli, which, despite also being commonly referred to as "corkscrew pasta", is a different shape altogether—a flat twist, as opposed to cavatappi's hollow tube shape. Cavatappi is usually scored with lines or ridges (rigati in Italian) on the surface. It may be yellow in color, like most pastas, or have vegetables or a food coloring added to make it green or red. It can be used in a variety of dishes, including salads, soups, and casseroles.
