Welcome to popular Wiki of the Day where we read the summary of a popular Wikipedia page every day.
With 427,782 views on Thursday, 1 June 2023 our article of the day is Cascatelli.
Cascatelli (Italian: [kaskaˈtɛlli]) are a short pasta shape with a flat strip and a pair of ruffles parallel to each other, each of which sticks out at a 90-degree angle from the strip. The ruffles give the shape texture and create a "sauce trough" that holds sauce.
This modern pasta shape was developed in 2019 by American food podcaster Dan Pashman in collaboration with New York pasta company Sfoglini. The shape is a hybrid of the bucatini and mafalda pasta types, highlighting the half-tube components and ribbon-shaped ruffle pasta respectively, and was designed to meet Pashman's preferred characteristics in a pasta shape.
