Answer 1

You're probably looking for Gnocci, but here are the G-pastas I've found ...

GALLETTI

Literally, “cocks’ combs,” galletti (gah-LEH-tee) are semicircular tubular pasta with ruffled edges.  

The beautiful galletti at the right are from Castellano, a brand sold at many specialty food stores.

GARGANELLI

Garganelli (gahr-gon-NELL-lee) are penne-style egg pasta. They can be found with and without ridges (here, the ridges are horizontal instead of vertical, as on penne rigate).

GEMELLI

Gemelli (juh-MELL-lee), meaning “twins,” are simply two short strands of round pasta that are twisted together. They are very versatile because they hold the sauce while retaining an al dente texture. They are popular in entrées, side dishes, baked dishes and pasta salads; and pair well with light to moderately-thick tomato sauces and cream sauces.

GIRASOLE

Girasole (GEE-rah-so-LAY) is the Italian word for sunflower. In pasta, the word refers to ravioli made in a sunflower shape. The girasole in the photo, from Nuovo Pasta, is filled with osso bucco. So, more than the shape is creative and delectable.

GNOCCHI

Italian for dumplings, gnocchi (NYO-kee) can be made of flour, semolina, potatoes or sweet potatoes, boiled or baked and served with butter and grated Parmesan cheese or a savory sauce. Eggs or cheese can be added to the dough. Common flavorings include spinach, basil, tomato and saffron (the latter is Sardinian-style). Gnocchi are generally shaped into little balls or ovals. The dough can also be chilled and sliced, then either baked or fried. Gnocchi are usually served as a side dish with meat or poultry. Potato dumplings have been a staple of both northern and southern Italian cooking since the early 19th century.

GRAMIGNA

Specially cut semolina pasta twirls (grah-MEE-nya).
