My grocery store finally started carrying that new Cascatelli pasta shape. They also had swordfish on sale, so decided I to make Daniel Gritzer's Rigatoni Con Pesce Spade recipe a go. Both of them are worth a try!
It still bothers me that they dicided to call it "cascatelli" instead "cascatelle" because "it sounds more like a pasta name". https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cascatelli#Name
Whereas many pasta shape have feminine names, fettucine, tagliatelle, pappardelle, penne, farfalle...
Well lot's of pasta also end in I because of the plural, like ravioli, spaghetti, cannelloni, rigatoni, tagliolini, bucatini, capellini, fusilli, gnocchi, cappelletti...
plural masculine noun often change the ending "o" into "i", but cascatella (waterfall) is a feminine noun ending with "a", changing to plural would change "a" into "e".
Ok, that is very fair. That's on me for not reading the wikipedia article. I did not understand that part of the argument. I agree with you then that it would have been better to follow that convention.
Did they go as far as nameing one individual piese a cadcatello?
No problem at all, happy to explain. I don't think they cared about singletons as americans commonly use words like panini when referring to singleton.
Of course, I am not suggesting all Americans need to know italian. But this bothers me a bit, since they seems to want to give off a "italian feel" (otherwise, they can just call it "waterfall", which seems to be a perfectly fine name), yet don't do it correctly.
I don’t cook a ton of pasta at home, so at this point I’m just glad I got to try it without having to buy six pounds of it online. They definitely got a lot of hype, but I can see the shape working in the right saucy dish.
I imagine given their reputation of absorbing a lot sauce, a light thin sauce is probably what they are good at IMO. (correct me if i am wrong, please)
So basically exactly what you have here! Kudos!
