Gemelli is a simple shape of two strands of pasta twisted together. Every day, you can find Barilla Gemelli (which means ôtwinsö in Italian) on the dining tables of homes and family-run trattorie across Italy, with any number of delicious local sauces, from rich tomato, mozzarella and basil in Naples to traditional pesto and green beans in Genoa. These small pasta twists are also remarkably versatile, as their shape holds the flavor of sauce beautifully while retaining the firm ôal denteö texture that you expect from Barilla.
