Semolina: Rotelle

It's Friday! : ) yeey!! What are your plans for the weekend?

The name Rotelle comes from the Italian word ruote which means wheel. This pasta noddle literally looks like a wheel with six spokes and is not originated in Italy but it is very popular anywhere else because of its shape. Rotelle has always been factory made and the colors may vary if herbs and vegetables are used during the production of this pasta in order to have varieties of flavors such as spinach, carrots and squash. It was said that because of this shape, it is easier for parents to feed their children with any pasta dish because children are attracted on how it looks. Each Rotelle is about the size of a small coin approximately 2.40 centimeters.

Sauces with chunky meats are the best type of sauces to combine with Rotelle because the spokes serves as "canals" where the sauce is absorbed, causing the flavors to concentrate more. This can also be tossed with salads which also adds a unique design to it as well as in other pasta dishes.
