Aglio Olio Creste

Creste Di Gallo pasta is an exceptional pasta shape that closely resembles the crest of a rooster. Creste Di Galli translates to “rooster crest.” It has a tubular body with a ruffled-edged curve. With its ideal shape, it can work well with a wide range of sauces including meaty and chunky ones. Its wonderful texture holds delicate sauces, also, instead of settling to the dish’s bottom. This type of pasta is also a good substitute for elbow macaroni and farfalle. Product of Italy.
