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.
Balance thinner strands of pasta with light sauces and thicker strands with robust sauces. These fun and versatile shapes do well in a pasta salad, baked dishes and with chunkier sauces. Shells are great with vegetable-based sauces and heartier meat or tomato-based sauces. An American favorite with a variety of lasagne sheet options and recipes from Barilla.
