lot, but at the same time, confuses us. We would love to try different shaped
pasta but don't know how to cook them right.
With an assortment of pasta provided by many pasta companies in India,
getting confused is obvious. So, we bring you details about some types of pasta
that will make buying and cooking pasta easy and interesting for you.

Conchiglie – Conchiglie is
commonly known as shell pasta and comes in a variety of sizes. The large size
conchiglie is ideal for stuffing and baking. Try exotic vegetable stuffing with
cream sauce or arrabbiata, drizzled with olive oil and chives for a
finger-licking conchiglie pasta. Small and medium shells are ideal for cold
pasta salads or soups.

Kids Pasta – These kinds of pasta
are available in different shapes that make eating food interesting and fun for
kids. This pasta is made in shapes that soak a good amount of sauce, making
kids finish the bowl in a go. Cook these with small chunks of vegetables in any
kind of sauce. They also taste good with soups.

Whole Wheat Spaghetti – A healthier version
of pasta is whole wheat spaghetti, which is thin, long, and cylindrical shaped.
It makes scrummy dish when added to pesto sauce or tossed in beautiful
flavoursome Aglio e olio sauce. Heavy sauces overpower the taste of spaghetti,
so opt for simple dressings to enjoy its flavour and texture.

Fettuccine – Fettuccine is flat
ribbon-like pasta, the thickness of which varies between linguine and
pappardelle. Alfredo sauce fettuccine is a classic combination, and you can add
a twist by loading it with the herb of your choice, like thyme or rosemary. It
goes great with a heavy sauce that is not chunky as it releasing amazing
flavours when coated in the sauce.

Amori – It is hollow, twisted
pipe pasta that originally comes from South Italy. It holds sauces well and
suitable for heavy sauces. Classics tomato basil sauce and white sauce and
contemporary pink sauce enhance the flavour of this pasta. Amori can be best
enjoyed when baked with lots of cheese.
·
Farfalle – Many call it as
bow-tie pasta because of its shape and because of its unique shape, kids absolutely
love eating this. Farfalle tastes brilliant with both butter and olive oil
recipes. It is ideal for cold pasta salads or chunky vegetable tomato sauce. Combine
this with a variety of vegetables and season with black pepper, oregano, and
butter for a quick and healthy pasta recipe.
With the increasing love for pasta, many macaroni
manufacturers in India are now offering a variety of pasta to meet the
demand. Choose your type of pasta for the shape you love the most or for the sauce
that you enjoy having the most. Try a new variety every time you cook a pasta
dish and relish a flavoursome dish.
