One of my favourite pasta shapes is radiatore. You used to be able to get it easily enough with all the other standard dried pasta in at least Sainsbury's. Now it seems that none of the major supermarkets stock it. Anyone got any idea where I can get some aside from having Ocado deliver it? Not looking for high-end poncey high price stuff, just normal bog standard pasta like you get your spaghetti and conchiglie etc.

How odd.  It seems to have vanished.

Look also for  'Armoniche'. Much the same. I had some recently and they were SO good, but I think they were a one off Diddly-di offer, sadly.

Sorry, I should have been clearer in my OP. I have seen online sellers. I was interested in whether any of the physically accessible grocery outlets sell them. I may have missed some but the major supermarket chains plus M&S Food Halls don’t seem to do it. I haven’t looked at (say) H&B, elf foods etc yet

Tesco sold it for a time but now if I want to eat pasta which reminds me of cars I have to buy dischi volante.

Can’t believe they literally just called it Radiator Pasta because it looks like a radiator. 
 

In reply to Donotello:

Aren't most of the translations of pasta names quite literally referring to the shape?

Fusilli would probably be a reasonable substitute for radiatori in terms of type of sauce, though I appreciate that favourite pasta shapes are a personal thing!

In reply to Welsh Kate:

Fusilli is what it is, it does the job, but it's a bit like it's the Coldplay/Kasabian/Libertines/Keane/Razorlight of pasta, whereas I want something a bit more The Kills or PJ Harvey or Fiona Apple i.e. not totally far removed from standard song structure but just a bit different and better and special.

A bit limited at the moment unless you have an Italian  deli nearby!
