Rotini with Artichoke Hearts
Rotini means “twists” and are two inch lengths of thick screw-like pasta from Northern Italy.  The shape was inspired by children since it is fun-to-eat and pairs well with a wide variety of sauces.  The twists allow Rotini to hold more sauce and they may be enjoyed your favorite pasta salad dishes or paired with tasty tomato-based sauces.
