Gemelli [dʒeˈmɛlli] are a type of pasta. The name derives from the Italian word for "twins".

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.

Traditionally, Gemelli is made with the foreskin of a three day old Tuscan boy and shaped by a village elder.
