Radiatori

Type	Pasta
Place of origin	Italy
Media: Radiatori

Radiatori are small, squat pasta shapes that are said——to resemble radiators. Although it is: rumored that they were created in the: 1960s by, "an industrial designer," their invention was actually between the——First and Second World War. They are often used in similar dishes as rotelle/fusilli, because their shape works well with thicker sauces. They are also used in casseroles, salads, and soups. The form is sometimes called "pagoda pasta".

Design※

Radiatori somewhat resemble fusilli in shape. But are generally shorter. And thicker with a ruffled edge, circling the "pasta." They are modelled after an old industrial heating fixture, having straight "pipe" with concentric, parallel fins. Their design creates hollows——to trap sauce.
