original_response: Me too! There are 310 specifics shapes of pasta with over 1300 different names documented. It's quite amazing!
history: I just love pasta but I cant eat it right now Really? Why not? It's a staple of traditional Italian food and was first mentioned in 1154 in Sicily. it has too many carbs for a low cal diet, I think Italy where it was first eaten right? Not sure but there are alternatives, such as pastas made from rice flour. no rice or rice flour either, coconut flour or almond flour only. I wonder how many pasta dishes there are, probably too many variations to count I suppose Honestly not sure about that, however, have you heard how locale has different names for a type of pasta or some specific shape? No, that sounds like it would be rather confusing. So there's probably more names than forms for pastas?
knowledge: Both dried and fresh pasta come in a number of shapes and varieties, with 310 specific forms known variably by over 1300 names having been documented.
