Ditalini

Ditalini (Italian: [ditaˈliːni]; English: "small thimbles"), also referred to as tubettini, is a type of pasta that is shaped like small tubes. It has been described as "thimble-sized" and as "very short macaroni". In some areas it is also called "salad macaroni". During the industrial age in Apulia, Italy, increased development of ditalini and other short-cut kinds of pasta occurred. In contemporary times, it is a mass-produced pasta. It is used in several dishes and is commonly used throughout Sicily.
