What types of hollow long pasta are there?
You have a lot of options in your long, hollow pasta: how big, how big a hole, curves, ridges: straight, spiral, or none; how long they’re cut. The source below lists dozens of entries, and there are even more possibilities listed in the Wikipedia entry, some of which I’ve never heard of. I’ll refer you to the source for the details, and just list a few I’m familiar with: cannolicchi Notes: These are short, grooved tubes of pasta. Substitutes: penne OR ziti OR canneroni maccheroncelli Pronunciation: mack-er-own-CHELL-ee Notes: This is a long, tubular pasta. It’s good with heavy sauces or in casseroles. Substitutes: perciatelle pasta al ceppo Pronunciation: PAH-stah al CHAY-poh Notes: This means “pasta on a stick” in Italian, and this tubular pasta was originally made by wrapping dough around knitting needles. Substitutes: macaroni And dozens more. Sources:
