    In my area we call them firzulli/frizzulli. The main dish we do with them is with tomato sauce and breadcrumbs.

    Edit: That photo is [on this page](https://www.the-pasta-project.com/fileja/) as Fileja and [on this page](https://fortunasausage.com/maccheroni-calabrese-from-italy-pasta-conte/) as Maccheroni Calabrese

    Previous text: I’m taking a guess, but this looks like trofie. I’ve seen many similar variations of handmade and each is a little custom based on the maker. I used to buy a dried version from Trader Joes (discontinued, [but shown here](https://www.thedailymeal.com/1310699/trader-joes-shoppers-swear-uniquely-shaped-trofie-pasta/)) that was smaller. It really held sauce nicely.

    Looks like handmade “strozzapreti”. Try to google it

    Looks like a pasta I ate in Slovenia, it was called pljukanci there

    Fileja è giusto, gli strozzapreti hanno una forma simile ma sono molto più piccoli

    Almost all names mentioned above are correct, this pasta is common in many italian regions and all of them give it a different name, for me in Tuscany is called “Strozzapreti”

    I love you for this question! A restaurant near me is the only place I’ve ever seen this pasta and they call it “fusilli” but when I google “fusilli”, the spirals come up. Someone commented “fusilli al ferretto” so that must be where my disconnect is lol. A “ferretto” google search comes up with the proper results!
