Tortiglioni are one of the many variations of maccherone, though the oldest can be traced to Naples.
Their name naturally refers to the format and derives from the Latin 'vulgar tortillare' which literally means to spiral wrap with a characteristic design lathe workmanship.

They are a particularly versatile format and at the same time original, which traditionally prefers full-bodied condiments.
