Basic Pasta Facts
Pasta is the typically used term that refers to different shaped and sized noodles that are incorporated into different dishes. Pasta can be categorized as the following:
- Short: These pastas include shapes like tubes, twists, elbows, and shell. These pastas typically require a thicker sauce when being served. A thick sauce will fill the gaps and ridges of the pasta better than thin sauces.
- Long: These pastas are typically longer and thinner like linguine, spaghetti, and fettuccine. These pastas require a thinner sauce while being served. A thicker sauce will only overwhelm these pastas, while a thin sauce will balance the dish.
- Baking: These pastas are larger in size and flat in order to be used for baking. The most popular pasta in this category is lasagna.
