This is no ordinary pasta -- and that's why you should make it. Garganelli is practical like penne and rustic like tagliatelle, and since it's not a common shape, dinner guests will be floored. Don't be afraid to experiment with different sauces -- try it with Fennel and Veal Sausage, or baked into cheesy goodness wth pumpkin and pancetta. Bonus? You get to use a pencil.  

Watch Chef Cruz Goler of Lupa Osteria Romana in New York City show us how it's done!

Made these with a Roasted Garlic Pumpkin Sauce and Lima Beans. Perfetto!

Had never heard of garganelli until I was in Milano last November. Had it at the Hotel Melia. It was prepared with wood smoked salmon (not lox type) and a cream sauce, with dill. Was able to find dried garganelli at Whole Foods and on-line through Formaggio Kitchen by Rustichella d'Abruzzo. Have duplicated the recipe at home a couple times with off-the-shelf ingredients that are tasty, but not as good as Melia's freshly made. I have not been ambitious enough to make my own, but might try it now.
