Rotelle
Rotelle are a type of pasta resembling wheels with spokes. They are similar to
fiori.
The name derives from the Italian word for little wheels. In Italy, they are also called "ruote" and in the United States, they are also called "wagon wheels".
Rotelle should not be confused with
rotini (
corkscrew-shaped pasta). Nonetheless, some manufacturers, such as Ronzoni, produce a twisted pasta with that name.
