campanelle

Pasta resembling small bells

Campanelle is a type of pasta shaped like small bells or flowers, with ruffled edges that fan out from a hollow center.

The shape catches chunky sauces well: Campanelle works beautifully with meat ragù.

The name comes from the Italian word for small bells.
