Rotelle is a type of pasta resembling wheels with spokes. They are similar to fiori.
The name derives from the Italian word for a small wheel. In Italy they are also called ruote, and in the US they are often called "wagon wheels". They originated about 1900 in Italy, probably in Apulia. They have the advantage of maintaining their shape intact during cooking, without squashing.
