Pasta comes in all shapes and sizes. The tiniest shapes are often used in soups, long ribbons or. strands with sauces, and tubes and fanciful shapes in casseroles and pasta salads. Some shapes. are large enough to be stuffed and baked, and others, like ravioli, come already stuffed. Pasta normally is white-yellow, but other colors exist.
