Your pasta personality

 

Spaghetti 

 

Serene Spaghetti’s 

Spaghetti eaters are generally meticulous, inquisitive and often very successful. Their movements are small, they take their time, and they move slowly. Essentially they are at ease with themselves and demonstrate a level of supreme confidence. You must be either experienced or highly dexterous to eat spaghetti without whirling it out of control! 

 

Rigatoni

 

Riga-to-the-point 

Eaters of rigatoni pasta are plain speaking. They tell it how it is and don’t suffer fools gladly. They’re people of few words, but will be fiercely loyal towards those they care about. With its square-cut ends, this is ‘straightforward, no-nonsense’ pasta, with its pipe-like shape allowing for a healthy dose of sauce. Straight-forward people know where they are with Rigatoni. In fact, it’s probably what they always order. 

 

Fusilli

 

Fun time Fusilli’s 

This is the party pasta for party people. Every day in their house is party central. Simple, unfussy but with a twist. People who order Fusilli are generally smiley, have high energy and show good emotional intelligence. Their table will be laid out with a certain quirky style and a large twist of fun. 

 

Orzo 

 

Out of the Orzo-nary 

Orzo eaters think of themselves as alternative. This rice-like pasta is ordered by those who break free from mainstream trends and prefer to swim against the tide. Orzo lovers are at one with nature and are often eco-conscious. Taking very little time to cook, Orzo is the ultimate energy saving pasta for socially aware folk. 

 

Ravioli

 

Ravi-lonely 

This is the Bridget Jones of pasta. A perfect, wholesome meal for one, favoured by those that are single and happily so! Eaters of Ravioli are fun, outgoing people who bring good vibes. Ravioli is the full package. It tastes like a treat and makes you feel you’re eating out whilst being cosy, curled up on the sofa at home watching a box set with a glass of wine. Never be too embarrassed to admit you love eating Ravioli on your own. 

 

Cannelloni 

 

Caring Cannelloni 

This pasta is for people who don’t do small talk but instead relish in deep conversations. This is not a pasta to be rushed, eaters of Cannelloni take their time. They are thoughtful. They ask questions. And, most importantly, they are good listeners. They are big hearted people who love life and understand that it’s important to truly connect with friends. 

 

Conchielle

 

Conscious Conchielle’s 

People who choose Conchielle are in touch with their feelings. They enjoy the company of others but equally like being on their own. They are comfortable in their own skin. They are big on smiling and huge on eye contact. This seashell shaped pasta is often chosen by outdoor types in touch with nature. Perfect following a brisk hilltop walk or when calmly watching the sunset.  

 

Farfalle

 

Fair-falle 

People who favour Farfalle are very self-assured. One of the oldest pasta shapes, this bow-tie shaped pasta is ordered by stylish, educated and curious people. Farfalle lovers can be seen as harsh but fair, they don’t stand for any nonsense and are known for following their heads not their hearts. 

 

Penne

 

Practical Penne’s 

Penne eaters are unashamedly practical - but are never boring. They have energy and always look for solutions. They realise that penne is the most popular pasta shape but don’t feel the need to break the mould, living life by the ‘if it ain't broke, don’t fix it’ motto. Its large surface area picks up a lot of sauce, proving to be a highly efficient pasta shape. 

 

Linguine 

 

Lively Linguine’s 

People who eat Linguine are confident in their life choices and perceive themselves as being supremely successful. Their voices are strong and handshakes are firm. Unlike this pasta, there is nothing flat about them. They are proud and rightly believe they should be proud. Often the choice of cyclists on the Tour de France, this is spaghetti for substance and success.
