With over 120 sizes and pasta shapes available, one would think there was a design to satisfy every palette. However, Dan Pashman, host of the James Beard and Webby Award-winning podcast âSporkful,â was unhappy with the available options. So, the food-lover spent three years, and a substantial amount of his personal savings, to create cascatelli â a new pasta shape that is purportedly more functional than any available today.
Pashman s noodle-design journey â documented in a five-series podcast dubbed Mission ImPASTABle â began accidentally in 2018. During a live performance at New York s Caveat Theater, the podcaster expressed his frustration with spaghetti. â
