Italian pasta and spaghetti recipes

Italian cuisine is also well known (and well regarded) for its use of a diverse variety of pasta. Pasta includes noodles in various lengths, widths and shapes. Distinguished on shapes pasta has various names: penne, maccheroni , spaghetti , linguine , fusilli , lasagne and many more varieties that are filled with other ingredients like ravioli and tortellini. The word pasta is also used to refer to dishes in which pasta products are a primary ingredient. It is usually served with sauce. There are hundreds of different shapes of pasta with at least locally recognized names. Examples include spaghetti (thin rods), macaroni (tubes or cylinders), fusilli (swirls), and lasagne (sheets). Two other noodles, gnocchi and spätzle, are sometime considered pasta. They are both traditional in parts of Italy.

Please note that all the recipes for first courses made with the following varieties of pasta: orecchiette, trofie, umbrichelli, strozzapreti can be made with spaghetti. The choose of a pasta variety is due to the fact that traditionally the recipe is made with such specific variety  and to the different flavor given from the combination with a specific sauce.
