Tube egg pasta

Garganelli

Quick answer

Garganelli are ridged egg-pasta tubes rolled diagonally on a comb.

Garganelli means "from garganel, chicken gullet" in Italian.

Best sauces: ragù, prosciutto and peas. Match the shape to the sauce — long thin pasta for oil and light sauces, tubes and ridges for chunky or meaty sauces, flat egg ribbons for rich ragù and butter.
