Garganelli (pronounced as /it/; garganéi) are a type of egg-based pasta from the Emilia-Romagna region of Italy. They are formed by rolling a flat, square noodle into a cylindrical shape over a ridged wooden board, giving the pasta ridges. Garganelli resemble ribbed quills with points at both ends.[1]
While garganelli are very similar to penne, they differ in that a "flap" is clearly visible where one corner of the pasta square adheres to the rest, as opposed to a seamless cylinder in penne.
Garganelli can be served in a variety of recipes; a traditional duck ragù is a common accompaniment and a specialty of the cuisine of Bologna.
