Preparation Pasta is said to have been invented some 2,000 years, but an all-new pasta shape from Sfoglini was created through a very modern medium: a podcast. Dan Pashman, host of the James Beard Award-winning podcast The Sporkful, aimed to create the perfect pasta shape through his series “Mission: ImPASTAble.” Over the course of three years, Pashman thought of the qualities that constitute the ideal pasta shape and developed three criteria: sauce-ability (how well sauce adheres to the pasta), fork-ability (how easy it is to stab with a fork), and tooth-sinkability (how satisfying it feels to sink your teeth into it)....
