Swirlys

Swirlys are short squiggly hollow tubes of pasta. Originating from Emilia-Romagna, this unique shape is often served with a sausage-based sauce. Known regionally as gramigna, this variety doesn’t have a long history and is not well-known outside of Italy. Swirlys are a fun shape for mac-n-cheese, and they also pair well with other rich and creamy sauces. This is a shape that demands culinary creativity, and will work well with a wide range of sauces and accompaniments.
