Mondo shtuff from around the internet, all about CAVATAPPI!
My botty best at summarizing from Wikipedia: Cavatappi is macaroni formed in a helical tube shape . it is known by other names, including cellentani, amori, spirali, or tortiglione . pasta is 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 the name was trademarked by barilla and other pasta producers had to use a less pop and evocative name like cavatappi (corkscrews) it is mostly found in tomato-based pasta
