A colorful version of a pasta salad favorite, tri-color rotini means “colorful twists” and comes in two-inch lengths of thick screw-like pasta from Northern Italy. The shape was inspired by children since it is fun to eat and pairs well with a wide variety of sauces. The twists and spirals allow it to embrace both refined and simple sauces. Vegetables, meat or seafood, and fragrant spices love to glide in the grooves of this shape.
