Three-time James Beard Award winner Dan Pashman, creator and host of The Sporkful food podcast, presents Cascatelli. Translating to “waterfalls” in Italian, Cascatelli features wavy ruffles along a curved, half-tube shape.
Launched in 2021 after three years of development with Sfoglini, this award-winning pasta maximizes three qualities:
Each feature of Cascatelli was thoughtfully designed to bring about these perfect pasta qualities. For example, the ruffles and half-tube shape capture more sauce in every bite, and the variations in textures create a more exciting sensory experience. Additionally, Cascatelli is made using a bronze die extrusion process that creates a rougher surface for the sauce to cling to.
Listen to the story of Dan’s quest to create this innovative pasta shape in a special Sporkful series entitled “Mission: ImPASTAble,” available on your podcasting app or at Sporkful.com.

We’ve been a fan of Cascatelli for years. I recently ran out and grabbed a bag of Cascatelli at Trader Joe’s….it was a huge mistake! Their brand fell apart when cooking and the pasta didn’t hold its shape and made the sauce soupy. Never again! I’m going back to Sfoglini Cascatelli. It’s amazingly good.
I wanted to believe the hype, and I'm so glad I did--it is actually the best pasta I've ever had. It's just a miraculous shape. The way it holds onto olive oil, to sauce, pesto, Bolognese, cheese, you name it; the way it's so hearty and toothsome but so easily sits on the fork, and even holds up in soup. It's wild. The only problem with it is how good it is--I'm going to go up a pants size. Absolutely incredible.
This is the best tasting pasta ever! Love the Sporkful shapes - they cook evenly, hold sauce well and taste delicious!
It does what it says it does. It holds sauce it has texture, and is kinda pretty. I don’t know what other people are talking about it taking long to cook… it’s pasta, it has to cook for sometime. It’s thick but not too thick. I only gave it 4 out of 5 because one box was damaged upon arrival. I would buy it again on sale and free shipping
Our house is a Cascatelli house! The forkability, sauceability and the toothsinkability are unmatched!
