About Cavatappi pasta

Cavatappi is a short, hollow pasta shaped into a corkscrew, with ridges along its surface. It is commonly made from durum wheat semolina and water, though ingredients can vary; dried pasta is the usual form, and fresh versions are less common.

Its twisted tube shape gives it a firm, chewy bite when cooked and helps it hold sauces. It is used in pasta dishes, salads and baked preparations. Cooking time and texture can vary with the pasta’s thickness, ingredients and whether it is dried or fresh.
