Literally translated sedani means ‘celery’ because the shape of this pasta resembles a small stick of celery. Probably from the same group as maccheroni, it is mainly used in southern Italy and is a hollow pasta which can have either a smooth or ribbed surface. The smaller sizes are eaten with a tomato sauce, while a meat ragù usually dresses the larger sizes, which are known variously as cannolicchi, fischiotti or dente di pecora (sheep’s tooth). (See also Maccheroni.)
