Canestri

12 oz -extuded pasta

Canestri go by a few other names (lumache, pipe rigate) but the translation to "basket" seems to be the most accurate descriptor of these ridged beauties. They have a hollow interior larger than rigatoni, and trap the sauce inside and out. You want to eat these with the most crave-able of accompaniments.  Great for classic Goulash recipes are a hearty vodka sauce.
