Elbows, also known as "Gomiti" in Italian, is named for its twisted tubular shape. Pasta elbows originated from
Northern and Central Italy, where they are traditionally used in soups. The
Barilla Protein+™ version is ridged with an extra twist, giving it a more
sophisticated shape that also helps to hold sauce. This fun shape is perfect
for your favorite macaroni & cheese, summer pasta salad, baked pasta
dishes, or tossed with your favorite dairy (like butter and cheese) or
tomato-based sauces.

Our Chef’s tip
Add a generous pinch of sea salt to the cooking water to enhance the pasta’s flavor.
Avoid adding oil to the water as it prevents sauce from clinging to the pasta.
