DI MARTINO: Pasta Tofette, 1 lb

A short, grooved pasta in the shape of a small shell, served with meat or vegetable based sauces, also with added béchamel or soft and melted cheeses that collect in the hollow to make them even more succulent. Having these for dinner, expect to dream of a table full of food (number 82 in the Neapolitan smorfia system).
