What is Cavatappi?

You know that "Miss Information Please" moniker? Jamie bestowed that on me years ago and she still calls me up asking for information. Today it was Cavatappi. I'd never heard of it. But as usual, I tracked down the info for her. That kid's got my number and she never hesitates to ring for the info! hehe

In case it's new to you:
Definition & Description: Tubular corkscrew or spiral shaped pasta about 1-inch long, native to southern Italy.
