comment What varities of chili peppers are most commonly used in Italy
@violadaprile Thank you for the clarification, but the part of the Wiki article that seems correct and which my question revolves around is that the word "peperoncini" has a very different meaning in Italy and the US. If I were to use what Americans think of as peperoncini in a recipe written by an Italian, I would be using the wrong ingredient.

comment What varities of chili peppers are most commonly used in Italy
Don't downgrade your answer. I didn't ask what kind of wine (peppers) they drink in Italy; I asked for a general idea of the predominant hot peppers used in southern Italy. And you provided an excellent answer. I wasn't expecting anything as specific, actually. So I'll give it a day or two to see if someone else comes up with a really stellar answer, but otherwise I'll happily accept this answer.

All the recipes I'm talking about are southern Italian cuisine written in Italian, by Italians. I don't see how that answers my question.

comment How can I keep pasta shapes intact?
@Jefromi That may be true in theory but in practice I find it does prevent sticking in practice. Granted, I've never cooked rotele and maybe it's unusual, but no other form of pasta I've cooked have I had sticking problems with.

@JeffAxelrod That's very odd. I don't understand how any pasta that's kept moving freely in the water could stick, much less break.

@Jefromi No, it doesn't have to be a roiling boil, but doing so will prevent the sticking since it keeps the pasta moving. And that was the question.
