What it is
Cavatappi is a type of pasta made from durum wheat semolina, water, and sometimes eggs. It is characterized by its corkscrew or spiral shape, which helps it hold sauces well. The pasta is typically cooked and then used in various dishes.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use cavatappi pasta as a base for pasta salads, baked pasta dishes, and as a side dish. Its shape and texture make it suitable for holding chunky sauces and ingredients, appearing in products like deli salads and frozen entrees.
Health notes
Cavatappi pasta is a source of carbohydrates and provides some protein and fiber. It is not subject to specific FDA regulations as an additive, being a common food ingredient. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated many pasta products and ingredients, generally considering them safe as part of a balanced diet. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from typical consumption.
Allergen info
Cavatappi pasta is made from wheat and therefore contains gluten. Wheat is one of the 9 FDA major allergens.
