Since our beginnings in Parma, Italy, in 1877, four generations of the Barilla family have been passing down the secrets to producing great quality pasta that really does cook and taste better.
Tortiglioni are one of the many variations of Maccheroni, one of the most famous pasta shapes from Naples. The name has a well defined origin; 'Tortiglione' is a characteristic design from the lathe used in pasta manufacturing, with vertical ridges, just like the ridges that characterise the Tortiglioni shape.
Tortiglioni is a truly versatile shape that traditionally is best matched with a full bodied sauce. Barilla Tortiglioni cook to al dente perfection in just 12 minutes.
