What it is

The pasta is shaped into small, elbow-like curves, making it versatile for many dishes. It is a staple pantry item for many households.

To prepare this pasta, bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add the dried pasta and stir occasionally to prevent sticking. Cook according to package directions until al dente, which means it should be tender but still have a slight bite. Drain the pasta well, reserving some of the cooking water. Toss the drained pasta immediately with your desired sauce or ingredients. The residual heat will help the sauce coat the pasta evenly.
