The fact of the matter is it’s not really a shape at all. It’s “hand rolled rigatoni”, which is a misnomer and oxymoron. It’s made by rolling a rectangle of dough across a gnocchi board with a dowel. So it’s similar to garganelli but without the angled edges because Garganelli are made with squares of dough rolled at a 45 degree angle.

Those are clearly Witchetty grubs

Obviously

[u/ATLUTD030517]

It almost looks like garganelli.

[u/muhlegasse]

I believe this is a tube of pasta dough rolled across a gnocchi dowel.

[u/catieebug]

It could maybe be Fusili Corti Bucati, though I can't tell if the spirals are hollow or not from the picture so I'm not certain.

[u/theavocadolady → u/catieebug]

This is definitely the right answer

[u/littleprairiehouse]

This looks delicious. What’s the recipe?

[u/Ok-Resort2364 → u/littleprairiehouse]

It's a Mexican type of pasta, I think. Try google lens

[u/Kivesihiisi → u/littleprairiehouse]

Feta, corn, avocado, basil and spices

Looks fake/AI

[u/Ok-Resort2364 → u/SabziZindagi]

Then everything is fake... What a time to be alive :(

Yeah I'm almost certain that a lot, if not all, of those linked photos are fake. I have been fascinated recently by a deluge of these very convincing AI recipe pictures, and while I can't pinpoint out exactly why, these have exactly that quality.

[u/Blackmirth → u/SabziZindagi]

Not sure why you are being downvoted. Definitely agree with you that this looks like an AI photo to me. I see a lot of very realistic looking AI recipe pictures now, for some reason.

[u/Huge-Bar5647]

It is gnocchetti sardi.

[u/Habarer]

Definately not a common shape, looks like something manufacturer specific, proprietary even

[u/Ozarkblonde]

Rotini

[u/Ok-Resort2364 → u/Ozarkblonde]

And those holes? It has to be so special... I searched for several different types, nothing.

[u/agmanning → u/Ozarkblonde]

Rotini are fusilli.

[u/Leibstandarte2]

Radittori methinks
