Trottole means "little tops" and these spinny shapes and these little spinny guys are perfect for pasta salad and Mac N Cheese. They make a mighty fine baked pasta as well. They will even fit in a spoon perfectly in a soup like Pasta e Fagiole. Note: This shape is also called Vesuvio in and around Napoli because if you place it upside down, they say it looks like a volcano with flames coming out the top!) 1 Case is 16 individually packed 12 oz retail units.
