Media: Gemelli

Gemelli (Italian: [dʒeˈmɛlli]; lit. 'twins') are a type of pasta. It is most often used for making casserole or pasta salads.

Gemelli are not twin tubes twisted around one another, as they may appear to be, but rather a single s-shaped strand twisted into a spiral. The strips are glued together to form a single piece of dough, similar to fusilli.
