THE NAME
The term has an obvious meaning and indicates a mix of different shaped of pasta. When pasta was sold in bulk (up untill the 1950s), mixed pasta was “invented” by pasta makers in order to put into commerce and recycle the small left overs of short pasta (or broken pieces of long pasta) formats that remained at the bottom of the bins and had the same cooking times by mixing them. Today, this is produced with extruders that contain various formats with the same cooking time.
