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.[2]
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. The strips are glued together to form a single piece of dough, similar to fusilli.
