The list is incomplete:
Eat a bag of dick pasta!
But the only one that matters is angel hair.
Ngl, that with some pesto napoletano and parmigiano was my go-to soul food for quite a while. Ready in a jiffie and just so good.
I want a Spore-like game where I evolve the perfect pasta noodle for my virtual restaurant.
If the Flying Spaghetti Monster isn’t part of this game, I don’t want it.
There’s no one perfect pasta shape, it depends on what you’re cooking. That’s why there’s so many shapes.
But yes, I do want to see pasta forming civilization and fighting for the control of tomato sauce.
I will use mezze penne for everything and you can’t stop me!
Nothing against that. It’s actually quite nice to only use one kind of pasta since that way you don’t have a bunch of packets with a bit of pasta but not enough to cook.
If I may suggest, I feel it is better to have two types of pasta at all times though. One long and one short, those are the ones which make the biggest difference; keep your mezze penne but maybe add in some spaghetti or linguine. Aglio olio e peperoncino is much better with long pasta, on the other hand something with larger chunks such as a pasta alla norma is generally better with short pasta.
And there are still new ones being created. Cascatelli was made between 2018 and 2021.
Smh, it doesn’t even list dinosauroni.
As someone from NJ, I thought this was common knowledge. Each type is often paired with a particular kind of sauce or dish. Legend has it if you pair the wrong pasta with the wrong sauce, or commit the even graver sin of breaking the noodles in half before cooking them, a dark haired man in a wife beater with a fat gold chain will come and beat you with some deli meat. Some say his name is Sal, but he doesn’t speak, he just looks straight into your soul and gestures like this 🤌
If I break just one strand of pasta to summon Sal on purpose, will he at least give me the deli meat after he beats me with it? If so, worth it.
When Sal’s causin problems ya just need Mookie to Do The Right Thing
It’s just whatever culture you’re familiar with. I grew up with a ton of different pasta names as well but I didn’t know the difference between dumplings like gyoza, shumai, xiaolongbao, and wontons.
Right now, Sal is busy punishing someone for putting pineapple on a pizza. Look:
It is so bizarre how Americans call all pasta “noodles”.
My first encounter with it was an ex referring to “lasagna noodles”. The expression on my face…
It’s not all pasta. The small bead types or star shapes aren’t generally called noodles. But otherwise what’s wrong with calling an egg and flour mixture in a string or ribbon shape a noodle? It’s a generic ingredient/shape descriptor. Is it only Asian cuisines for you?
There’s no reason for it to include eggs
Unless you’re making egg noodles, those do require eggs.
That’s ridiculous, why can’t we just have one that covers everybody’s use case?
Just make a new one to cover every standard!
Someone need to invent the spagalocci just to make Ify retrospectively right
At one point, an Italian pasta company hired an engineering firm behind the Delorean to design a pasta that held the most sauce.
Marille
This is a country with priorities.
Wow! I am amazed there are that many.
I really can’t get behind calling things other than noodles, noodles (except pool noodles).
Rotini: Fusili, but shorter
But fusili isn’t on the list.
Million to one shot!
A fusili is just a longer rotini.
Over a hundred? I’d place it in the several hundreds.
I myself have easily tried 100 different types. Currently have about 10 in my closet, and I’m out of pasta…
Moreover, I wouldn’t call it pasta noodle, the word noodle implies an elongated shape; which is not always the case with pasta.
