Pasta Language Learning
1. SPAGHETTI:
PRONOUNIATION: spu-geh-tee
TRANSLATION: The Italian word spago means "cord, string." The suffix -etto
in Italian, like the suffix -ette in English, means "little one." Added together, spago
and -etto become spaghetto, which means "little string." "Little string" describes very
well the shape of a strand of spaghetti.
2. PENNE:
PRONOUNIATION: peh-nay
TRANSLATION: Penne is the plural form of the Italian penna (meaning
'feather', but 'pen' as well), deriving from Latin penna (meaning 'feather' or 'quill'),
and is a cognate of the English word pen. When this format was created, it was
intended to imitate the then-ubiquitous steel nib of fountain and dip pens.
I'm trying to scoop the last piece of penne pasta onto the fork.
3. LASAGNE:
PRONOUNIATION: luh-zaan-yuh
TRANSLATION: The Romans borrowed the word as lasanum, meaning
'cooking pot'. The Italians used the word to refer to the cookware in which lasagna is
made. Later the food took on the name of the serving dish.
5. LINGUINE:
PRONOUNIATION: luhng-gwee-nee
TRANSLATION: Did you know? The modern language closest to Latin is
Italian, and the Italian word linguine means literally "little tongues". Linguine is only
one of the types of pasta whose names describes their shapes.
If you prefer you could use spaghetti or linguine
If you make a mean linguine or a to-die-for calzone, consider throwing an
Italian party that includes traditional Italian music and décor
6. RIGATONI:
PRONOUNIATION: ri-guh-tow-nee
` TRANSLATION: The word rigatoni comes from the Italian word rigato (that
stands for 'lined', 'striped', 'ruled', rigatone being the augmentative, and rigatoni the
plural form), which means 'ridged' or 'lined', and is associated with the cuisine of
southern and central Italy.
There was rigatoni and meatballs and tomato sauce.
The rigatoni made, mostly, from extruded tomato. Chicken liver rigatoni
people will like it.
7. FARFALLE:
PRONOUNIATION: faar-faa-lay
TRANSLATION: Farfalle (Italian: [farˈfalle]) are a type of pasta commonly
known as bow-tie pasta, ribbon pasta or butterfly pasta. The name is derived from
the Italian word farfalle (butterflies).
The spicy farfalle with shrimp was the best pasta I've ever tasted.
My grandmother showed me how to make farfalle.
Here's a recipe for farfalle pasta with ham and peas.
Farfalle and penne both work well in this dish.
8. FUSILLI:
PRONOUNIATION: fyoo-si-lee
TRANSLATION: Fusilli: this name has been formed by adding to the noun
“fuso” (spindle), the endearing suffix “ello” (small and cute). Therefore, you're eating
small and cute spindles!
I really like cooking with long fusilli.
The fusilli here are made from 100 per cent organic grain and are shorter and
fatter than normal.
I used fiorelli but any short pasta such as penne or fusilli would work just as
well.
Combine with cooked fusilli to serve.
9. MACARONI:
PRONOUNIATION: ma-kr-ow-nee
TRANSLATION: Etymology. In Italian, maccheroni refers to elongated pasta, not
necessarily in tubular form. This general meaning is still retained outside Rome and
in different languages which borrowed the word.
"How did meat loaf and macaroni and cheese and green beans get to be
Southern?"
"baked macaroni and cheese has become a staple meal"
"Drain the pasta or macaroni, then return it to the saucepan."
"I helped him with dinner: hamburger patties, macaroni and cheese."
10. CANNELLONI:
PRONOUNIATION: ka-nuh-low-nee
TRANSLATION: Cannelloni (Italian: [kannelˈloːni]; English: "large reeds") are
a cylindrical type of egg-based stuffed pasta generally served baked with a filling and
covered by a sauce in Italian cuisine. Popular stuffings include spinach and ricotta or
minced beef. The shells are then typically covered with tomato sauce.
When they were gone, she went to the oven for a dish of cannelloni which was
warming there.
