James Beard Award-winning Cascatelli pasta

CASCATELLI: Translating to “waterfalls” in Italian, Cascatelli features wavy ruffles along a curved half-tube, creating an original pasta shape. Three-time James Beard Award winner Dan Pashman is the creator of Cascatelli pasta. This award-winning pasta maximizes three qualities:

• Sauceability: How readily sauce adheres to the shape.
• Forkability: How easy it is to get the shape on your fork.
• Toothsinkability: How satisfying it is to sink your teeth into it.

Each feature of Cascatelli brings about these perfect pasta qualities. For example, the ruffles and half-tube shape capture more sauce in every bite. The variations in textures create a more exciting sensory experience. Cascatelli is made using a process that creates a rougher surface for the sauce to cling to.
