Don't know an orecchiette from a fusilli? Test your smarts with photos that challenge your culinary know-how. It's time to play... NAME THAT PASTA!

Take a look at the photo above. Which pasta is pictured? Is it wagon wheels or pionero pasta?

That was wagon wheels (also known as rotelle or ruote)! Pionero is not a pasta at all, but rather a word I made up. Sounds like an Italian pasta, though, doesn't it?

Take a look at this photo. Is it shell pasta or orecchiette?

Were you listening intently with your little ears during Italian language class? That was orecchiette! (The Italian words for "little ears"). Orecchiette kind of looks like shell pasta but shell pasta is often larger, with a deeper indentation that allows its sides to curl inward like a shell.

Take a look at this next photo. Is it rotini or fusilli? It’s fusilli. Rotini and fusilli are spiral in shape but fusilli is a bit longer, while rotini is a bit flatter with a tighter twist. Both are delicious!

And moving on, is this radiatore or ravioli?

The pasta that resembles a radiator is radiatore. Stuffed pasta pouches filled with meat or cheese are the treats we call "ravioli".

How about this pasta? Is this campanelle or pappardelle?

It’s pappardelle, a thicker version of fettuccine (ribbon-like pasta) that pairs nicely with thick sauces. Pappardelle gets its name from the Italian word "pappare". Translation? Gobble up!

Campanelle pasta is on the rare side. When’s the last time you had a dish made of this pretty pasta? Me—never. It’s a delicate, short, and sturdy pasta variety characterized by a hollow center and fluted edges that are reminiscent of petals. The center is especially well designed for capturing sauces, so campanelle are often paired with hearty sauces such as béchamel or chunky sauces full of vegetables.

Being a versatile pasta variety, campanelle also pair well with meat, fish, or tomato sauces. The name campanelle means bellflowers, referring to the shape of the pasta.

And do you know your bucatini from your tubini?

This is bucatini. Like spaghetti, but hollow in the middle, bucatini pairs well with just about any sauce. You can also use in it casseroles and stir-fries. Tubini is also hollow-centered, but shorter and thicker in diameter than bucatini.

And what’s the difference between rigatoni and riccioli? Rigatoni (pictured), is a large, ridged, tube-shaped pasta that's bigger than penne and doesn't end at an angled cut. Riccioli ("curl" in Italian) is hollow in the middle, like rigatoni, but it's twisted/curled in shape.

And now a toughie. Is this acini di Pepe or orzo?

It’s Acini di Pepe ("Peppercorn"), another fairly unusual pasta. It makes an elegant and tasty addition to soups. Orzo, also a small pasta, is more rice-shaped and is popular in cold pasta salads.

OK, finally, take a look at this last photo. Is it macaroni or elbow pasta?

Nope, it's not called Kraft® dinner and, yep, this is a trick question because “elbow” and “macaroni” are the same thing. So, if you answered either, right you are! Now, did you know that the Canadian Pasta Makers Association estimates that there are more than 600 pasta shapes worldwide? I think I’m good to remember just these few here!
