Introduction To Pasta Types
Pasta comes in many incredible shapes and sizes but it’s worth remembering that pasta can be broken down into two basic types. Long form and short form.
Long form pasta is really anything that will twist around your fork and spoon such as spaghetti and is also referred to as strand pasta. Another long form type of pasta is ribbon pasta. This pasta is flat rather than round, such as lasagne and tagliatelle.
Short Form pasta can take on several shapes but can subdivided into three main groups. Tubular, shaped and stuffed.
Tubular pasta can be small to large. Examples are penne and macaroni.
Shaped pasta can be anything from wheels to bow ties. There are many different types on the market.
Stuffed pasta can have a variety of fillings, the most popular being ravioli and gnocchi.
