Cascatelli pasta (Italian for waterfalls) was created by Dan Pashman, host of the Sporkful podcast. He set out to make a completely new, perfect pasta shape developed using his special criteria: "forkability, sauceability and tooth sinkability." He chronicled his three year journey in a special 5 episode series called "Mission Impastable." The new shape was an instant hit and has had a 12 week wait list since it's launch in March.
