Ilene Bauer Poet Rhyme

Picking a Pasta

Eeny meeny capellini,
Ziti, elbows, bucatini.
Vermicelli, farfalloni,
Gnocchi, orzo, rigatoni.

Alfabeto and linguine,
Cavatelli, fettuccine.
Penne, pappardelle and gigli,
Stelle, risi, tripolini.

Picking pasta gives you choices;
Any way, your mouth rejoices.
Think I'll go and boil me some - 
If it's cooked al dente - yum!

Paul Callus November 29, 2014 at 4:41 PM I love pasta, all kinds, and you are tempting me no end!!! We Maltese, like our Italian neighbours, go mad on pasta. I enjoy mine arrabiata, but I would not advice you to try it...it's like eating fire!:) I'd like to share some of yours, though! "Cooked al dente is a yum!" // paul
