Characteristics, History and Pairings<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The story of this shape of pasta is bizarre: it was first created in the 1970s in a well-known pasta production plant in Emilia. Due to a glitch in the machine, instead of making a straight ridged pasta, the extruder produced a helical shape resembling a \u201cspring\u201d. At the time, singer Adriano Celentano (known as il Molleggiato<\/em>, \u201cSpringy\u201d, because of his dancing moves) was at the peak of his popularity. Although there is no proof, tradition has it that his nickname inspired the name of this new shape of pasta, celentani<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because of its helical shape, celentani<\/em> pasta is also known as cavatappi<\/em> (corkscrews), spirali<\/em> (spirals), and amori<\/em> (lovers).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 This pasta is so versatile that is often served with traditional Italian sauces, mainly with a tomato base, such as amatriciana sauce, but it\u2019s also great enjoyed with basil pesto.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
