Meaning "twins" in Italian, this a short pasta shape with two strands twisted together, creating a unique, elegant look. Its tight twists are excellent at holding onto sauces, making it ideal for dishes with thick or chunky sauces, pesto, or creamy dressings. Gemelli is also popular in pasta salads and baked pasta recipes, offering both visual appeal and a satisfying texture.
 
The origins of gemelli pasta lie in Italy, where pasta-making is a celebrated art form. Despite its appearance, gemelli is made from a single strand twisted into a spiral, not two strands. It is especially associated with regional Italian cooking, where its design complements the rich and flavorful sauces of traditional Mediterranean cuisine. Today, gemelli is enjoyed worldwide for its charm and versatility.
