I like penne! I wouldn’t want it to be the only shape I ever ate though. And I agree that rigate is the better form. In general rigate or other methods of ruffling or creating surface texture are there to hold sauces. The smooth forms are just useless at holding a decent sauce. It’s so true that the different shapes interact differently with various sauces and ingredients. Some of the ones they were unsure about were made for soup, for instance, not sauce. Again, a different use requires different characteristics. With a soup, you need it to be sturdier and to hold its shape during long cooking. One of my favorite shapes is busiate, a coil of flattish pasta. It’s great for holding many sauces. My housemate imports that from Italy, too, and it’s just fantastic. Worth every penny.

as an Italian, what makes identifying how many pasta shapes there are is especially hard because not only there are so many types of pasta that look different but have the same name (think Maccheroni or Gnocchi) but just as many pasta shapes which look exactly the same but have wildly different names depending on which region or country you're in (like Busiate, Strozzapreti and Trofie which are essentially the same thing). Once you get over that hurdle, you truly fall into the pasta rabbit hole andyou find out there's a WHOLE BUNCH of extremely local, niche, hyper-regional types of pasta which even if you were Italian, you would've probably never heard of unless you were specifically from that area.

As an Italian who really loves eating pasta this video was delightful! Also, I think that the Penne drawing at which Melissa was pointing (8:14) represents "Penne lisce" which are kinda bad at holding sauce and therefore not great for many pasta dishes; however, if you try "Penne rigate", which are basically the same but with ridges all around, I think you'll like them a lot more, since they work way better with sauce. Anyway, I wish you all the best, keep up the amazing work!

So my Italian step family always told me that the other thing with the shapes was how those shapes held different materials; was it clinging onto a thin sauce or cheese or was it a thick sauce or cheese or something else was it in a soup.

Hi, as an Italian i can help in some ways. In Italy, we have 4 "official" courses during a meal: 1-Antipasti Which are basically appetizers 1- Primo piatto Which translates to "First dish" and it's pasta. It can be almost anything. Pasta with meat inside. Pasta with pesto. Pasta with fish and so on. 3-Secondo piatto "second dish" It's meat or fish. 4-Desert. Since pasta is one of the main foods during a meal (almost always at lunch) we had to have variety. The difference between bucatini and spaghetti is that bucatini, as the name suggests, has a hole inside. In Italy you can still find hand-made pasta. Especially there is still a tradition in Bari, a city in the region of Puglia, where old ladies sell pasta made on the streets. That kind of pasta is called "orecchiette" since it resembles a little ear. The unknown-shaped pasta looks like "gnocchi" (pronounced nhocchi). If you have any questions, ask away! As an italian I can talk about food all day.

great video! one thing to note is that most Italian Americans emigrated from Sicily which is also why our pronunciation of mozzarella is different then how mainland Italy pronounces it. also re rice my guess would be that rice is already good straight from the grain and can also be used to make dough so a lot of the variety in rice dishes is from what you're pairing it with, while wheat tastes nasty unless you process it so a lot of the variety there is at the dough stage

For years (before the internet) I wanted to have a comprehensive knowledge of pasta names! Then, as I learned more words in Italian, I saw that they’re mostly just ordinary Italian words, which takes a lot of the mystery out of it. I’ve watched only the first 4 minutes of this so far, and I’m betting that while mouth feel and sauce-carriage are factors in some of the shape choices, most of them arose just because people will try everything they can.

There's a type of handworking where you use small tubes to braid/knot a fairly thick chord, the spiral form of which is very popular, which is called scoubidou (pronounced scooby doo). In that case the names comes from a completely made-up nonsense word from the French song Scoubidou by Sacha Distel, which was a hit in 1958. The song was a French remake of the original song Apples Peaches and Cherries, popularised by Peggy Lee. Since it's the origin of the word for the spiraled knot/braiding artform, could it also be for the spiral pasta?

I was wondering the same thing a long time ago, and was told that it's because those few shapes tended to survive shipping best, so it's nice to get confirmation on that. For the skeptical: you might notice there's fewer broken fragments at the bottom of the box of elbow mac and pene than there is for the equally popular rotini. If you get your hands on more "exotic" shapes that made the same trek, you'll find there's even more of a disparity in breakage. There is, also, a matter of popularity; orzo holds up like a brick house, but we usually only use it in my house for a dish akin to rice-a-roni, because we're lazy. Shelf space is limited so whatever is popular is what gets stocked, so more people only get exposed to whatever on the shelf and it becomes a vicious cycle.

in some middle eastern countries its popular to roll the dough into whiteboard marker thick tubes, cut it into little pieces, and then run it on a cheese grater to create little holes on it. then you boil in in oil and salt. some people add garlic to it too, its called "maakroon". i always make it with my grandma when im not sure what to eat :) (its made using the dough without egg)

We made all kinds of pasta together when I was growing up. She would also sell them on the bus to pay for her flight to visit us every year, and teach other women in her town how to make pasta and sell it as a side hustle. A true icon, entrepreneur, and creative woman, just like you say. I was really missing her today. Thank you

The distinction between rice and pasta is that rice is a grain. You just have the grain and don't need to screw around. You don't really have much choice on shape. But pasta, you need to make, and you can then make it into whatever shape you want. Even rule 34 shapes. This results in people making things like alphabet pasta, and dinosaur pasta and so on. Even something as simple as "spaghetti" can be done in a variety of thicknesses and lengths (so different shapes) for different preferences. And some will find it easier to make flat vs others finding it easier to make round. So it comes down far more to personal preferences. Then there are practical considerations, like ability to hold shape when cooked, how likely it is to stick together, stuffing something inside 2 layers and the integrity of that, or being used as layers to separate meat in a pasta bake like a lasagne.

Oh this was such a sweet video, thank you so much for making it! I'm Italian, I know some pasta facts and regularly eat several kinds of pasta, but I actually never thought about women in the kitchen as being the creators behind the pasta shapes we have today...and now I'm thinking about my grandma, when I was little she regularly made a ridiculous amount of passatelli and tortellini with her own hands and leave them to dry on enormous wooden boards around her house. It was so cool to see the whole house covered with these boards, with white cloth on top that I was not supposed to lift, but of course I peaked under it and tasted tiny bits of that (uncooked) dough from time to time. I still have the taste in my mouth when I think about it. For me that was a different kind of pasta, not the same that my dad used to buy at the store...but of course that is exactly how all those shapes were born haha why I never thought about this before 😂
