I'm not aware if this is the total number but 310 specific forms of dry and fresh pasta are known.
No you can't that is a classic fresh or dried pasta can make spaghetti and meatballs taste awesome lol.
I love pasta, I could eat just pasta for the rest of my life and be completely ok with it. Oh really? Do you eat fresh pasta made by hand or the ones by large-scale machines? Hand if I can help it, can you tell me more about the history of this amazing food? The first reference of pasta dates back to 1154 and was in Sicily! Sicily? I would have never expected it to be there, it's an island too! Thanks and do you have any favorite traditional pasta dishes? Not really since traditional pasta dishes each have their own specific pasta, cooking style, and sauce. I guess that's true but one can't go wrong with the classic spaghetti and meatballs in my opinion! However, I am curious if you know how many forms of pastas are out there?
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.
