About Tortiglioni
As a tubular pasta, tortiglioni (which has no English equivalent name) is perfect for chunky recipes with its ability to hide sauce ingredients inside. Imagine tortiglioni pasta with artichoke sauce! An Italian cook also would easily reach into the refrigerator or step into the family garden to gather fresh tomatoes, olives, capers and mozzarella to make a tortiglioni sauce. The pasta also works well in casseroles.
Try Tortiglioni with a Basil Almond Pesto and Italian Sausage.
