Pasta comes in many shapes, and each one tells a story about where it’s from in Italy. Here are a couple of examples:

• Tagliatelle: This flat pasta is from a place called Emilia-Romagna. It's often served with a tasty meat sauce called Bolognese.

• Orecchiette: This pasta is from the region of Puglia. It looks like little ears and is great for dishes with hearty vegetables.

Each pasta shape shows the local ingredients and tastes of that area. Every region in Italy has its own special pasta styles that connect to their history and culture.

So, when you take a bite, you can taste the tradition and skill that went into making it!
