About pasta names

Italian pasta names are mostly descriptions. Many shapes are named for what they look like: orecchiette are little ears, farfalle are butterflies, conchiglie are shells, vermicelli are little worms and linguine are little tongues. The endings carry size. The endings -ini and -ette mean small and -oni means large, so spaghettini are thinner than spaghetti and conchiglioni are the big shells made for stuffing. Shape names are plurals, which is why a single piece of ravioli is properly a raviolo.

Classic dishes are named just as plainly, for the sauce or the place it comes from. Cacio e pepe is cheese and pepper, all'arrabbiata means angry and signals chili, Bucatini all'Amatriciana takes its name from the town of Amatrice, and al forno means baked in the oven.

This list mixes three kinds of entry. Roughly a fifth are real shapes: long strands, short twists, stuffed pasta, tiny soup shapes and regional ones such as Malloreddus and Busiate. A smaller group are classic dishes, most of them Italian and a few Italian-American. The rest, a little under three quarters, are menu names made up for this page: signature plates, baked dishes, pasta salads, pasta bar bowls, kids' menu names and puns. A name in plain English is almost always one of the made-up ones.

How to choose pasta names

  • On a menu, put the shape in the name and the sauce in the line under it. Sunday Gravy Rigatoni tells a guest what is coming; keep puns like Penne for Your Thoughts for the specials board or a pasta night at home.
  • Match the shape to the sauce before you borrow a name: ridged tubes and shells hold chunky sauces, thin strands suit oil and light tomato, and wide ribbons such as Pappardelle carry a meat ragù.
  • Keep Italian spellings exact. Shape names are already plural, so it is Orecchiette and Bucatini with no added s, and the accent in Ragù stays.
  • For a pet, pick a short shape name that is easy to call out loud, such as Orzo, Gnocchi, Ziti, Pici, Trofie or Rotini.

Frequently asked questions

Which pasta names in the list are real and which are made up?

Italian shape names such as Campanelle, Radiatori and Culurgiones are real pasta shapes, and Italian dish names such as Pasta alla Gricia and Trofie al Pesto are established classics. English menu-style names such as Midnight Garlic Linguine or The Truffle Shuffle were made up for this list. A made-up name can still describe a dish that some kitchen already serves.

What are some cool pasta names?

Shapes with a picture in the name are a good start: Creste di Gallo means rooster's crests, Occhi di Lupo means wolf's eyes and Capelli d'Angelo means angel's hair. For a dish, try the classic Spaghetti all'Assassina or a made-up menu name like Midnight Garlic Linguine.

What do the endings of pasta names mean?

Endings such as -ini, -ine, -etti and -ette are diminutives, so Tubettini are very small tubes and Farfalline are small butterflies. The ending -oni marks a large version, as in Tortelloni, Conchiglioni and Fusilloni. Mezze or mezzi means half, as in Mezze Maniche, which are half sleeves, and Mezzi Rigatoni.

Can I use these names on my own menu or recipe card?

Shape names and classic dish names are ordinary food words that any cook can use. The made-up names were written for this list and have not been checked against existing menus or products, so search for a name yourself before you print it on signage or packaging.
