| Corrugated and twisted |
Although it resembles a lozenge twist candy, or garganelli or torchietti pasta, or possibly a modern sculpture, this is a section of corrugated metal pipe (CMP) seen by the side of the railroad. But more than that, how was that cylinder twisted into a this shape?
That should be a pasta shape: a rippled tube that is then given a half twist. The ripples on the outside and inside of the tube and the empty interior space formed by the half twist provide ample surface and volume for the sauce to stay. This new pasta shape - "tubi contorti" - can join the ranks of the cascatelli.
ReplyDeleteThat also looks kind of like a Twizzler? Which also is hollow inside.
