SFOGLINI Cascatelli Pasta, 16 OZ

Great pasta shape and taste. Good sauce catcher- had this with Alfredo sauce.

Got this pasta after making a new year's resolution to try a new pasta every month. Was fascinated by this one based off its bulky and unique shape, and its story having been a pasta invented within the past few decades. Figured I'd buy it from the source to see if it was worth the fuss.The individual pieces are much bigger once cooked than I initially anticipated, and they hold a really nice texture and bite even a day later after sitting in the fridge. Highly recommend throwing this into a marinara or pureed sauce, as sauces cling super nicely into all of the crevices. The flavor profile is pleasantly light. I did have to boil it for around 4 minutes longer than recommended to cook all the way through, but the thinner outside ridges held up well during the extra time. I imagine this is a fairly forgiving pasta if you accidentally overcooked it.Would definitely recommend giving this a try! Seems pretty versatile, and is a simple way to shake up your pasta routine!

This was a gift for a friend who read about it being the best pasta shape. He said he can confirm that it is by far the superior pasta shape.

Used this to compliment our homemade Bolognese and it held the sauce beautifully! It is definitely more thick than regular pasta and takes more time to cook but is so worth it. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because of the price. $9.99 is a bit much for one box of pasta but, to be completely honest, I'll still buy it again!

My daughter-in-law saw something about how this pasta was created. It took a long time and the inventor spent a lot of time and energy developing this new shape. He had very specific goal for this pasta. Flavor, texture, the ability to hold sauce, etc. It is very tasty and we just ordered our second batch. I ordered extra to share.

Wow! The best pasta I've ever had. Definitely recommended to anyone and everyone! Great mouth feel, sauce retention, and forkability!

It took forever to boil. Really great pasta takes a few minutes. Not for use with fresh sauces. Just way too dense. The shape is great for catching sauces. But, I would suggest using only in baked pasta dishes. I would not buy again.

I loved it, my kids loved the "slide pasta". Big fan, my fat body loves pasta, and this was great.
