Tubetti is a small, tube-shaped pasta, the name “tubetti” comes from the Italian word “tubo,” which means tube. This pasta shape is versatile and well-suited for various dishes due to its small size and hollow centre as it allows them to soak up and hold onto flavours. Therefore tubetti is excellent for hearty soups and stews, such as minestrone, pasta e fagioli, or tomato-based vegetable soups. The small size of tubetti helps create a balanced bite with other ingredients in the soup. Due to their size, they are also great for dishes that require smaller pasta shapes.
