    You’re technically right but catering for all the variations would cap at 20 shapes when we’re well above 200. Naming pasta is more like a hobby.

      Yes, there are tons of shapes that are better served by others for literally any application, such as bowties, or ones that are at best entirely interchangeable.

      We could totally get away with like 10 shapes with no dish getting worse for it.
