BARILLA Cut Macaroni pasta, Gomiti or Chifferi in Italian, is named for its twisted tubular shape that can vary in size and be either smooth or ridged. Pasta Elbows originated from Northern and Central Italy, where they are traditionally used in soups. In Canada, Cut Macaroni is an all-time favourite pasta shape for the famous Mac & Cheese recipe. At BARILLA, we're passionate about pasta. After all, we have been pasta makers since 1877.
