There are over six hundred different pasta shapes made in Italy alone, in a variety of colors and flavors.

The standard pale creamy-colored durum wheat; the more golden egg pasta; the popular green spinach; the rustic whole-wheat; the glorious orangey sun-dried tomato; the black mushroom; the speckled olive-flavored; and many more.

Then there is the exciting variety of noodles from the Far East and the flat noodles of German-speaking countries. It would be impossible to list every one here, but here are some you are most likely to use.

The addition of rice or pasta to soups can often make substantial enough for main meal, perhaps served wit a bowl of grated cheese to sprinkle over and hunks of warm crusty bread.

They also add interesting texture and flavor and their starch content can help to thicken the liquid. If using rice or pasta for a garnish in clear soups, add it ready-cooked just before serving to prevent the mixture going cloudy.

The glorious colors and flavors of vegetables with rice and pasta often make ideal main meals in their own right or dishes which can be served as starters or accompaniments to fish or meat (when they'll serve more people).

Many are quite rich and are good served with a crisp mixed leaf salad and some warm crusty bread - perhaps ciabatta flavored with olives, mushrooms or sun-dried tomatoes. Others make good accompaniments to plain grilled meat or fish.
