Organic Radiatore Pasta

"Invented sometime in the first half of the 20th century, food historians suggest that the squat, mutli-ridged pasta known as radiatori get their name from their resemblance to radiators. And funnily enough, the same surface-area-maximizing design that allows radiators to heat and cool buildings effectively also maximizes each Radiatore’s ability to hold onto pasta sauces—and provides a fun textural sensation on the palate, to boot. Unlike most HVAC systems, however, Trader Joe’s Organic Radiatore Pasta is made with Organic durum wheat semolina and is bronze-die cut for us by an expert supplier in Italy for even more textural enjoyment. Another crucial difference? It’s available at your neighborhood Trader Joe’s for a limited time. (We’d also venture to say that it’s much easier to carry around in your TJ’s tote than a standard radiator, for what it’s worth.) In addition to deftly holding onto all sorts of sauces, Trader Joe’s Organic Radiatore Pasta also tastes great with all sorts of sauces, from creamy Alfredos to garlicky pestos, and, in particuar, those that include a great deal of sausage or ground meat. Give it a whirl with our Organic Vodka Sauce and some chicken breast, enjoy it cool with diced Fire Roasted Red Peppers and some olive oil for an easy pasta salad, or mix with our Bolognese Style Tomato Sauce in a casserole dish, sprinkle with cheese, and bake for an easy weeknight entrée."
