About

Flying saucers (literally, ‘flying discs’), dischi volanti were designed shortly after the name was coined in 1947 following Kenneth Arnold’s sighting in the United States. A media frenzy cast these objects of dubious reality into the forefront of the world’s psyche. Martians or no, dischi volanti do actually exist as a pasta, and a delicious one at that.
