GEMELLI WITH SHRIMP, TOMATOES AND WALNUT-PARSLEY SAUCE
One piece of gemelli consists of two strands of pasta-both about an inch long-twisted around each other to resemble a braid. These noodles are great for catching the juices in this garlicky entrée. If you can't find gemelli, use fusilli; it will work just as well.
