ChatGPT can use artificial intelligence to generate high school essays, emails, cover letters, and a lot more. But can it write an episode of The Sporkful? Eater senior reporter Bettina Makalintal joins us to discuss, and to tell us what happened when she asked ChatGPT to write a “stinky lunchbox immigrant memoir.”

From the mind of James Beard Award winner Dan Pashman, creator and host of The Sporkful food podcast, comes CASCATELLI (Italian for “waterfalls”). Three years in the making, this totally new shape was created in collaboration with the artisans at Sfoglini. Cascatelli is designed to maximize the three qualities by which Dan believes all pasta shapes should be judged: Sauceability: How readily sauce adheres to the shape Forkability: How easy it is to get the shape on your fork and keep it there Toothsinkability: How satisfying it is to sink your teeth into it Listen to the story of Dan’s quest to create this shape in a special Sporkful series entitled “Mission: ImPASTAble”, available in your podcasting app or at Sporkful.com. And try cascatelli today to experience the next chapter in pasta history!

For example, the ruffles and half-tube shape capture more sauce in every bite, and the variations in textures create a more exciting sensory experience. Additionally, Cascatelli is made using a bronze die extrusion process that creates a rougher surface for the sauce to cling to.</span></p> <p dir="ltr"><span>Listen to the story of Dan’s quest to create this innovative pasta shape in a special Sporkful series entitled “Mission: ImPASTAble,” available on your podcasting app or at </span><a href="http://www.sporkful.com/tag/mission-impastable/"><span>Sporkful.com</span></a><span>. </span></p> <p>Try Cascatelli in our recipe for <a href="https://www.sfoglini.com/pages/cascatelli-with-double-pork-ragu" title="Pasta Recipe: Sfoglini Cascatelli by Sporkful with Double Pork Ragu">Double Pork Ragu</a> or <a href="https://www.sfoglini.com/pages/chicken-pot-pie-cascatelli" title="Pasta Recipe: Sfoglini Cascatelli by Sporkful Chicken Pot Pie">Chicken Pot Pie Pasta</a>.</p> <div dir="auto"> <em><strong>Find out why <a href="https://www.americastestkitchen.com/articles/6189-trader-joes-sfoglini-sporkful-cascatelli-tasting" title="Read the article to find out why America's Test Kitchen recommends Sfoglini's Cascatelli over the Trader Joe's version" target="_blank">America's Test Kitchen recommends Sfoglini's Cascatelli over the Trader Joe's version</a>! </strong></em><meta charset="utf-8"> </div>
