Pasta comes in hundreds of shapes, each suited to a different sauce or dish. Long strands like spaghetti and linguine catch light sauces, while tubes like penne, rigatoni, and ziti hold heavier ones. Some are stuffed, like ravioli, or layered, like lasagna. Others stand out by form alone, from the spirals of fusilli to the bow ties of farfalle and the soft potato dumplings called gnocchi. This puzzle gathers eleven favorites.
