Golfati

Golfati refers to a type of pasta that is small, ring-shaped, and has a hole in the center. This shape makes it ideal for holding sauces, as the sauce can fill the ring and cling to the pasta. Golfati are often used in soups and stews, as well as in pasta salads. The name "golfati" is derived from the Italian word for "rings" or "hoops." This pasta shape is a common choice for children due to its small size and fun shape. It is typically made from durum wheat semolina and water, like most traditional Italian pasta. The cooking time for golfati is usually quite short, as their small size allows them to cook through quickly. They can be found in most supermarkets and specialty food stores.
