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.
There are approximately 350 different types of pasta around the world â and about four times that many names for them! For example, due to its shape, farfalle pasta is often called âbutterfly or âbowtie pasta. Cooks use different shapes and sizes of pasta for different purposes.
