Marille

Marille was created by a car designer, Giorgetto Giugiaro, under commission from a pasta company in Campania. The idea was to design a pasta shape that would absorb and retain an abundant amount of sauce, so that each piece of pasta would become a juicy morsel in its own right. The pasta was designed on a drawing board and is made of two tubes joined together. It is ribbed on the inside and smooth on the outside, with an aerodynamic wing attached to the side of one of the tubes. It holds the sauce inside it and is especially delicious dressed with a good tomato sauce and Parmesan.
