Bell.

Bow tie

>fusilli

A tight double spiral a la DNA. I am not quite sure if fusilli and
rigatoni and clearly distinguished. The latter is more like a bad
corkscrew.

Gosh! Would be hardpressed to describe this little bundle!!

Diagonally cut tubes with stripes on them -- without the striping
they would be ziti

Like motorcycle engines!

Pillows?

Stars.
