Holy Sauce History Recipes

‍

Radiatori are small, squat pasta shapes that are said to resemble radiators. Although it is rumored that they were created in the 1960s by an industrial designer, their invention was actually between the First and Second World War.

Many believe the shape was based on the design of a radiator in a Buggati. Radiatori is considered to be a newer shape, as it was just created sometime between both world wars. Its unique shape works well in soups, salads and casseroles. The unique texture and design adds a fun aesthetic to any pasta dish.
