Which Pasta Shape Are You?

TONIGHT'S SPECIALS. Spaghetti Loyalist, served exactly the way your grandmother made it in 1974, no substitutions, please don't ask. Farfalle Showstopper, a bow tie shape dressed for a gala and plated with a basil leaf placed by tweezers. Penne Pragmatist, efficient, filling and ready in eleven minutes, ideal for people who meal prep on Sundays. Fusilli Overthinker, a spiral that holds on to every drop of sauce and every awkward thing you said at a wedding five years ago.

Your server would like to remind you that a pasta shape is never just a pasta shape. It's a personality wearing a carbohydrate costume. The way you text, plan a trip, react to pineapple on pizza and survive a surprise party all point toward one particular noodle, and the kitchen has been taking notes.

Answer fifteen questions about boiling water, stained shirts, group chats and what's sitting in your fridge right now. At the end, the chef will bring out your shape along with a short explanation of why it fits you better than you'd like to admit. Grab a fork, tuck in your napkin and take the quiz. Parmesan is complimentary.
