To me the shape resembles a part used on railroad tracks, specifically the improved flair.

#12One of their advertising points is using right angles and varying thicknesses to produce different textures... so while parts will be aldente others mushy I guess. Sounds a lot like marketing attempting to pass off a bad feature as a positive

#13The year is 2045. 35 percent of humanity's GDP is invested in improving pasta technology. The current record-setting pasta is being extruded through a bronze die which had been cast into a void produced by activated charcoal formed around transformer-derived non-euclidean topologies. A one-quarter-inch pasta has three square miles of surface area.

Pasta foam? Sounds like it would fall apart. What's it made of? How would you cook it? Sounds like AeroGel. Does it have aerospace applications?

#15Ew. Looks like a sea slug. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sea_slug#/media/File:Glossodor...
Do you also think spaghetti looks like worms?

I like my veggies in curry to be cut in uneven sizes because of this reason. Some pieces are still a little hard and crunchy, some are soft, gravy like.

It looks like waterfalls, hence the name: cascatelli.

Extrusion is soooo 2032. Here in 2045 we direct nanobots to assemble our 3D-fractal pasta to atomic precision. Look for it under the brand name FractalDente™.
