About Cavatappi noodles

Cavatappi noodles are short, spiral-shaped pasta with a hollow center, originally inspired by Italian cuisine. Made primarily from durum wheat semolina and water, they are known for their unique corkscrew design, which helps sauces cling to the noodles for maximum flavor. These noodles are a good source of carbohydrates, providing energy, but their nutritional value depends on preparation and accompanying ingredients. Traditional cavatappi is low in fat and cholesterol-free, making it a versatile base for healthy meals when paired with lean proteins, vegetables, or olive oil-based sauces. However, recipes heavy in cream sauces, cheese, or processed meats can increase calorie and saturated fat content. Cavatappi may also be available as whole wheat or gluten-free options, offering improved fiber content and accommodating dietary restrictions. Whether baked in casseroles or used in pasta salads, cavatappi noodles are a flavorful and adaptable addition to any meal.
