In the 15th century, the price of fresh food increased, pasta gradually became a popular dish and could be found in every street stall. At that time, people ate pasta with grated cheese and ate it with their hands. After King Ferdinand ate this dish with a fork, people learned to do the same. It was not until the 19th century that people used tomato sauce to eat these pasta dishes. Photo: FNDTV. |

However, pasta is still mainly divided into 4 types: long and round noodles, tubular types (commonly called macaroni), types with special shapes (wheel-shaped, butterfly-shaped...) and types with fillings. Pasta with fillings is usually rolled thinly and then the filling is put in the middle and rolled up, looking quite similar to dumplings. The two types with typical fillings are Ravioli and Gnocchi, made from mashed potatoes and flour. Photo: Allrecipes. |

Not all pastas are meant to be served with the same sauce. Thick pastas should be served with thick sauces, small pastas with light sauces, and pastas with sauces rich in vegetables. Photo: Italypasta. |
