Cascatelli (Italian: [kaskaˈtɛlli]) are a short pasta shape with a flat strip and a pair of ruffles parallel to each other, each of which sticks out at a 90-degree angle from the strip. The ruffles give the shape texture and create a "sauce trough". This modern pasta shape was developed over three years from 2018 to 2021 by American food podcaster Dan Pashman in collaboration with the New York pasta company Sfoglini. The shape is inspired by the ribbon-shaped ruffles of mafalda pasta and the half-tube components of bucatini pasta, and was designed to meet Pashman's preferred characteristics in a pasta shape, which he described as "forkability", "sauceability", and "toothsinkability". With its ruffled design, cascatelli closely resembles radiatori in shape.
