You’ve probably not heard of like 99% kinds of pasta. They make it in all shapes imaginable, and any, even tiny, variation in size, length, curvature, thickness… seems to be deserving of its own name. If any Italian is reading this, don’t get me wrong, I love you—ye are nice, funny, beautiful (they are gorgeous! don’t know why, but they are), your food is incredible, your language is lovely (even the Italian accent when speaking other languages is the best)…—but the pasta names thing is getting a bit out of hand.
