Rotini

Rotini is a variety of pasta originating from Northern Italy, characterized by its thickness and a screw-like shape. The spirals and twists of rotini make it an ideal pasta for holding both chunky and simple sauces based on tomato, dairy products, or oil.

This pasta is often used in dishes such as pasta salads and carbonara. The name rotini means small wheels, referring to the numerous spirals in its shape.
