Variations

As an alternative to ruote, try spighe or any other open pasta shape.

Chef's notes

Ruote and spighe are not very easy to find. I have come across these types of pasta in Lidl's and some independent delicatessens. Ruote can be obtained online from Fratelli Camisa.

Personally, I never bother rubbing garlic on the inside of bowls as you can hardly taste it. I would prefer just to crush some up and mix it with the dressing.
