Different Kinds of Pasta

Last updated 10 months ago

With so many types of pastas to choose from at a quality Italian restaurant, it helps to know the differences between them all. To learn to discern one type of pasta from another, watch this helpful clip.

Every type of pasta has its own shape that lends it unique attributes—for example, you should never put egg noodles in a salad because they are too flat and pack too easily to work with other salad ingredients. However, rigatoni or wagon wheel pasta go great in salads because they stand up and provide holes for the sauce. Experimentation is fun, so go ahead and see what works for you.
