I have an idea this may be one of those dishes that have as many different interpretations as there are chefs, but according to the Grand Lux Cafe menu:

Pasta Telephono
A Rich Tomato Sauce with a Dash of Cream and Melted Mozzarella Cheese!. Baked and Topped with Toasted Bread Crumbs

Sounds good to me!Www@FoodAQ@Com

The reason google couldn't find it is that you spelled it wrong!.

Mario Batali's Ziti al Telefono


In traditional Italian cooking, any dish made with mozzarella cheese carries the name "al telefono," a playful reference to the way the melted cheese strings out and curls like a telephone cord!. This simple and delicious ziti is sure to please!

Serving: 4
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 20 minutes
Total Time: 35 minutes





6 quarts water (approximately)
2 tablespoons coarse salt
2 cups Mario Batali's Basic Pasta Sauce
2 medium tomatoes, cut into 1/4 inch cubes
1/4 cup basil leaves
1 pound dried ziti
8 ounces fresh mozzarella cheese, cut into 1/4 inch cubes




1!. Bring the water to a boil in a large pot and add the salt!.

2!. In a 12-to 14-inch saute pan, combine the pasta sauce and the tomato and bring to a boil over high heat!. Lower the heat to a simmer and add the basil leaves without stirring!.

3!. Meanwhile, cook the pasta according to package directions until tender and just shy of al dente, about 10 minutes!. (The pasta should be al dente about the same time the basil is added to the tomatoes!.)

4!. Drain well, then add to the pan with the sauce!. Add the mozzarella and toss over medium heat until the cheese is just melting!. Pour into warm bowls and serve immediately!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

That is pasta shaped like little phones!.

There is another one called no fumari - it is shaped like little no smoking signs!.

We could invent some more!.

Fusilli Jerry anyone !?Www@FoodAQ@Com
