What Is The Tube Pasta Called?

There are three types of pastas that I know of:

1: Penne (PEN - A) it is apasta like a tube except it has a tip at the end of each end.

2: Ditali (DI - TAL - E) it is a small version of a tube.

3: Rigatoni (RI- GA - TOE- NEE) it is basically a longer version of ditali.

Manufacturers and cooks often invent new shapes of pasta; or may invent new names for old shapes for marketing reasons.
