ELBOW SPAGHETTI & STIVALETTI
 
Translated as little boots; these small, curving pasta tubes are perfect for canned pasta, soups and favored by salad makers.
 
We make elbow spaghetti to your specifications.  Use thin wall for quick cooking products like side dishes and boxed entrees.  Heavy wall elbows hold up for processed products and steam tables.
 
Elbows are a cost-effective ingredient that add value to your dry mixes, frozen foods or canned products.
   
We are the industrial pasta experts.  Call us with your toughest questions.
