Barilla. Not just a maker of pasta, but also the Official Pasta Partner of Formula 1.

Fitting, then, that the brand now offers pasta in the shape of race car wheels.

While the news is perhaps not as thrilling as a daring heist of more than 12 tons of KitKats–the Official Chocolate Bar of Formula 1–Barilla’s “Racing Wheels” pasta is sure to really get dinner rolling. (You see what I did there?)

The new shape, a redesigned version of its "Mini Wheels" pasta, “pairs well with simple sauces the whole family will love,” the product page reads. “They are also a perfect choice for pasta salad or topped with roasted tomatoes and burrata.”

Barilla says its Racing Wheels are available at Amazon, as well as select retailers nationwide.

No word on fitments for tire sizes, though.

Heat cycling? I'm not sure what that is, but I make sure I run my tires al dente for maximum performance.

I loved wagon wheels as a kid. Will have to get some of these.

I wonder if they cook ridiculously-fast?

Waiting for JG and Andy to report cooking times at The FIRM and Harris Hill before I spend money on this mod.
