Types of Pasta. 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.
Gluten-free pasta: The primary ingredients used as flour in gluten-free pasta are brown rice, corn, a combination of corn and quinoa, potato and soybeans. Whole wheat pasta: This tasty pasta choice offers optimum nutrition and rich, nutty flavor that stands up to robust sauces.urum wheat is a high-gluten, exceptionally hard wheat, while semolina refers to the milling texture (that of fine sand, that is). If your pasta has a rich ivory color approaching yellow, you can bet it's been made with durum semolina.
