a new feature . . .

 

fifteen minute pastas

Here are additional recipes for some of our favorites, the tubes. Penne, especially rigate (veined) or lisce (smooth), are the best known.

Ziti, maccheroni (with a little elbow), chifferi with a big elbow, and rigatoni are other examples. Garganelli, which can be made from fresh egg pasta, also qualifies.

The shape, with the obvious opening of tubular pastas, allows them to mix very well with, and hold onto, the sauces.
