Gemelli

Gemelli is a simple shape of two strands of pasta twisted together. These small pasta twists are also remarkably versatile, as their shape holds the flavor of sauce beautifully while retaining the firm "al dente" texture that you expect from Barilla. Barilla^® Gemelli is made with non-GMO ingredients. For more information, please read our position.
