Pasta is known as authentic Italian food. But Italy is not the only country that has fallen in love with pasta. It has been one of the most-favoured food around the world for countless years. It has been a long part of several cuisines, long enough that people often question where it exactly came from. Some say that it is a descendant of Asian noodles and was brought to Italy by Marco Polo after his expedition from China. However, many people think that the Chinese origin of pasta is just a myth. Either way, the pasta has already proven its versatility with the number of types and dishes you can make out of using it.
With over six hundred shapes, each pasta has its own delicious purpose. But among all these shapes, there are four popular pasta shapes: Long pasta, tube and short pasta, sheet pasta, and filled pasta.
Long pasta is the most common type of pasta shape that people will find in any grocery store. They are long, thin ribbons that are best cooked with creamy sauces. Spaghetti, Fettuccine, and Linguine are just some of the long pasta dishes in most people’s favourites. On the other hand, tube and short pasta are often tubular and served with a heavy sauce. If you want to try using this type of pasta, you can cook Penne, Macaroni, Rigatoni, Fusilli, and Farfalle. Sheet pasta like lasagna and filled pasta such as ravioli are also among the most popular types of pasta.
These are just some of the types of pasta shapes that you will ever find in an Italian restaurant Melbourne. And if you want to know more about pasta and all the dishes you can cook using them, you can check this infographic from Cirelli & Co.
