Odd Pasta
I came across an unusual pasta at one of my favorite groceries, Joe Caputo & Sons Fruit Market out in Palatine. "Calamari Rings" pasta. As you can see from the photo, it is indeed shaped like rings of calamari, essentially cannelloni cut to about an inch long. Strangely, it's not listed on the manufacturer's website, nor the "World Directory of Pasta Shapes."
I'm not sure what the point of this shape would be; it wouldn't hold onto sauce very well, but I suppose it would be easier to cut through in a casserole style dish. Any thoughts?

not sure? those look kind of crazy. maybe theyd be good for a cold pasta salad?
