The list is incomplete:
Eat a bag of dick pasta!
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!
At one point, an Italian pasta company hired an engineering firm behind the Delorean to design a pasta that held the most sauce.

This is a country with priorities.
Someone need to invent the spagalocci just to make Ify retrospectively right
It is so bizarre how Americans call all pasta “noodles”.
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.
My first encounter with it was an ex referring to “lasagna noodles”. The expression on my face…
The only greater sin than breaking spaghetti in half, is calling pasta ‘noodles’.
Pasta is a class of noodles, udon and spätzle are also noodles, but they’re not pasta.
It is the other way around, a noodle is a type of pasta.
Pasta literally means paste, it refers to the dough pasta is made from. Is fact, it also means dough and pastry.
Loanwords can change meanings after borrowing. “Pasta” in German and English refers the Italian specialties, while pasta in Italian means any kind of noodle and even some dumplings. “Noodle” kept its meaning in English from German nudel / Dutch noedel.
If you want to properly classify things it is good to know where words come from.
No.
Spaghetti can be classed as a noodle. Not all pasta however is the long thin strand necessary to be classed as a noodle.
I absolutely despise the continued american assault on language. Words have meaning, even if americans are too stupid to understand the concept.

I’m sure words have never once changed meaning in your country.
English is not my native tongue, but going by Wikipedia (written by native speakers I hope) “noodle” does in fact refer to a lot more than “long thin strands”, as does the source words nudel (German) / noedel (Dutch) in their respective languages.
I feel like the breaking of spaghetti is a bit exaggerated. Typically people prefer not to break them, but there are plenty occasions in which Italian people do break spaghetti.
Such as using them in a soup, or cooking for an older person which may have problems using the fork properly.
However, if you break spaghetti because your pot is too small you’re definitely doing it wrong. Keep breaking them if you want them smaller, but use a larger pot; that will prevent them from sticking together. You do want quite a lot of water to cook pasta, not just enough to cover them while they’re completely packed in the pot.
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.
Rotini: Fusili, but shorter
But fusili isn’t on the list.
A fusili is just a longer rotini.
Million to one shot!
I need a PowerPoint to see this
The striped hats are my favorite
I really can’t get behind calling things other than noodles, noodles (except pool noodles).
Smh, it doesn’t even list dinosauroni.
And there are still new ones being created. Cascatelli was made between 2018 and 2021.
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.
