Do you know your pasta shapes?

Were you listening intently with your little ears during Italian language class? That was orecchiette! (The Italian words for "little ears"). Orecchiette kind of looks like shell pasta but shell pasta is often larger, with a deeper indentation that allows its sides to curl inward like a shell.

Take a look at the photo above.

Is it rotini or fusilli?
