You’ve probably not heard of like 99% kinds of pasta. They make it in all shapes imaginable, and any, even tiny, variation in size, length, curvature, thickness… seems to be deserving of its own name. If any Italian is reading this, don’t get me wrong, I love you—ye are nice, funny, beautiful (they are gorgeous! don’t know why, but they are), your food is incredible, your language is lovely (even the Italian accent when speaking other languages is the best)…—but the pasta names thing is getting a bit out of hand.
Aren’t most pasta shapes designed to hold whatever they go with, usually sauce?
But I haven’t heard of radiatori before, that’s cute. Must be a relatively new invention (newer than radiators).

Relatively new, I guess? (Supposedly invented in the 1960’s, so it’s probably older than you)
Cheezus of Mac, do You know the History of Pasta?
No, I looked it up on Wikipedia (it actually claims it may have been invented before WW2 but there’s no reliable source for it)
