To prepare this rotini, bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add the 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 thoroughly and rinse with cool water if using in a cold salad. It can then be tossed with your favorite sauce, vegetables, or proteins.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to other pasta shapes like spaghetti or penne, rotini's spirals are particularly good at trapping and holding onto chunky sauces, pesto, or small ingredients like peas and corn. Its texture also provides a satisfying mouthfeel.
