Authentic Shapes

Formati Autentici

To visualize the prominence of pasta in the Italian diet, look no further than the plethora of pasta sizes and shapes. The artful designs are more than décor. The length, width, ridges, spirals and curls are like a language that speaks of the sauce that will grace the pasta.

Long strands have their place in soups and combined with light sauces. There are certainly several to choose from. Short-cut pasta takes the diner beyond strands into the more carefully crafted cuts and tubes designed to hold on to the sauce. Pick a favorite and experiment. Pasta making, after all, is an art form in Italy. Reinventing the pasta is common, considering the love of art and shapes. Inspiration for pasta dishes can certainly come from these selections.
