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.
Pasta Primer. Alternative grain pastas: This category includes the likes of KAMUTÂ® khorasan wheat (a whole grain pasta), spelt pasta (made with 100% spelt flour) and quinoa (an ancient grain pasta similar to rice). The al dente quality of these pastas is directly related to the amount of durum wheat they contain.
