Tortiglioni are a type of pasta similar to rigatoni, but larger and with deeper grooves which spiral around the pasta.[2]

They take their name from the Latin word torquere, meaning 'to twist'.[2] A tortiglione is a characteristic design from the lathe used in pasta manufacturing, with vertical ridges.[3]

  1. Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
