Pasta is a good staple found all over the world. There are approximately 310 different types of pasta, known by over 1300 documented names, available in both dried and fresh pasta in a number of shapes and varieties. In Italy the names of the specific pasta shapes or types can often vary with each locale. Historically pasta used to be eaten plain, so the idea of using tomato sauce to give it flavor was a novel idea. Pasta was known to be eaten with the hands as only the wealthy could afford eating utensils. The way people eat pasta has changed, as it was once a small, simple item but today it is often eaten in larger portions and as part of complex and sophisticated dishes.
