PastaShapeBook

PastaShapeBook is a practical reference for Italian pasta shapes and sauce pairing.

Browse 30 traditional shapes, from spaghetti, bucatini, tagliatelle, orecchiette and trofie to ravioli, anelletti and pizzoccheri. Each entry explains the region, dough type, texture, classic sauce, other pairings, cooking notes, substitutes and a cookery tip.

Use the sauce-first guide when you know what you are cooking but not which shape to choose. Long strands suit loose tomato, garlic and oil, clams and chilli. Ridged tubes hold chunky ragus. Concave shells catch beans and small vegetables. Wide ribbons carry slow-cooked meat and mushroom sauces.

Ask the AI pasta coach concrete cooking questions such as what to substitute, why a sauce is not clinging, or how to finish pasta with starchy water. Save kitchen notes on-device for the next time you cook the same shape.
