How many pasta types are there?
- There are two major classifications: pasta fresca (fresh) and pasta secca (dried). From here, there are more than 400 unique types of pasta: sheets, strips, long strands, cylinders, unique shapes, flavors, and many other local varieties. There are more names for pasta than the mind can retain, yet all are made from the same basic ingredients — 100% durum wheat and water with a specific percentage of acidity and humidity under Italian law.
- Example of pasta types: Lasagna, Macaroni, Fettuccine, Linguine, Angel Hair Spaghetti, Penne, Soup Pasta and many more.
Quick & Easy Pasta Cooking with Pasta Sauce.
- The individual shape and texture given to pasta can be somewhat of a code in determining the proper sauce. A simple rule of thumb would be as follows: thick pasta = thick sauce, light pasta = light sauce.
- Nowadays, pasta cooking can be simple and quick with the ready made pasta sauce such as:
- San Remo Bolognese & Mushroom Pasta Sauce 500g – Australia
- San Remo Tomato, Onion & Garlic Homestyle Bolognese Pasta Sauce 500g – Australia
