I need help finding the name of a pasta. It is shaped like elbow macaroni but it corkscrews. Anyone know what it's called?

Nope. It's looks just like elbows but it twists 2-3 turns to give it a corkscrew look. Even has the hole running through the middle like regular elbows

Homer, I think Rotini noodles are what you want. They are spiral shaped. They are great with meat and sauces. LOVE them.

Did you know there's a calamaretti pasta, which is squid shaped and dyed with squid ink? It's a good'un!

This is what I make Chicken Fusilli with - the corkscrew type of fusilli. First ever saw it at Disneyland but I have to say that it is usually in a box rather than a bag at the store.

close but no cigar...these only have 2-3 turns and they aren't tightly coiled
