Pasta is a staple food in many countries, particularly in Italy, where it has been made for centuries. Coming in many different shapes and sizes, each with its own unique name and purpose. For example, spaghetti is long and thin, making it perfect for dishes with a lot of sauce, while penne is short and tube-shaped, which makes it ideal for salads or pasta bakes.
