Letters to Every Kind of Pasta I’ve Tried

Some filled with love, others with warnings.

What if you’re a humor writer who also happens to be a trained natural food chef who likes to experiment with pasta made from every different ingredient possible?

What can you do?

Well, I decided the obvious answer is to write letters to each kind of pasta and then turn these letters into a quiz.

Answers are at the bottom!

Letter #1

Dear _______ Pasta,

You were my first love. Al dente. When I close my eyes, I can still feel your firm but chewy body. I assumed all pasta was like you. I was young. I could eat half a pound and go out dancing.

But somewhere along the way, things changed. Ours became a one-way love, and I had to choose: you or my favorite jeans.

I’m sorry, but I need to wear pants.
