My grocery store finally started carrying that new Cascatelli pasta shape. They also had swordfish on sale, so decided I to make Daniel Gritzer’s Rigatoni Con Pesce Spade recipe a go. Both of them are worth a try!

      I don’t cook a ton of pasta at home, so at this point I’m just glad I got to try it without having to buy six pounds of it online. They definitely got a lot of hype, but I can see the shape working in the right saucy dish.

        I imagine given their reputation of absorbing a lot sauce, a light thin sauce is probably what they are good at IMO. (correct me if i am wrong, please)

        So basically exactly what you have here! Kudos!

      Well lot’s of pasta also end in I because of the plural, like ravioli, spaghetti, cannelloni, rigatoni, tagliolini, bucatini, capellini, fusilli, gnocchi, cappelletti…

        plural masculine noun often change the ending “o” into “i”, but cascatella (waterfall) is a feminine noun ending with “a”, changing to plural would change “a” into “e”.
