Sedanini
(Sedani, Cornetti, Diavoletti, Diavolini, Folletti, Zanne d'elefante)
Sedanini is a traditional pasta variety originating from Italy. It's made with a combination of durum wheat and water. This type of pasta is somewhat larger than macaroni and it has a similar slight bend. Sedanini can be furrowed (rigati) or smooth (lisce).
In the past, the pasta was called zanne d'elefante (elephant tusks) due to its elongated, narrow, and slightly curved shape, but it was renamed when ivory became taboo. The name sedanini means small celery stalks. It's recommended to use sedanini in macaroni salad or serve it with puttanesca sauce, sardines and fennel, speck, Fontina cheese, or sausages and cream.
