Gemelli (Italian pronunciation: [dʒeˈmɛlli]) are a type of pasta. The name derives from the Italian word for "twins".^[1] It is most often used for making casserole or pasta salads.

Gemelli are not twin tubes twisted around one another, as they may appear to be, but rather a single s-shaped strand twisted into a spiral.
