A bit about Paccheri-   This pasta is also known as schiaffoni, which is roughly translates to "big slaps." There is no wonder why because these wide, hollow pasta tubes often slap around the pot while being stirred. These are often served with Neapolitan style dishes that have thick sauces and seafood.
