I wonder how evenly it cooks given the different densities of the spine and the ruffles.

I enjoyed listening to this series of podcasts as it came out. I find it very interesting to see how mundane products are produced and all the steps required to get something produced and finally to market.

How I Built This with Guy Raz is another one of my favs in the same vein.

Thanks for the reminder of this one!

I actually bought two bags of the stuff when the podcast came out. Overall it's pretty a good pasta! It certainly had a bit more of a bite than something like penne, but I couldn't say that it really heald sauce any differently. It was a fun novelty pasta but not worth the small batch prices + shipping.

Looks good! Maybe a bit complicated. So I'm not sure about it's efficiency, but have trust in it's efficacy.

I also find the three criteria sensible. At least that's what I have in mind when buying pasta. Add availability, and I usually end up with Fusilli.
