I once tried these in homeade chicken noodle soup, the kids love the little stars, but they tend to get stuck in your teeth.

6. My name means "little thimbles" in Italian With minestrone soup I'm a great companion I have a fun tube shape But I don't taste like grape

Ditalini is the best in traditional vegetable soups, even if they aren't Italian ones.

My favorite recipe for orzo is when you mix it with sauteed garlic, shallots, lemon and white wine. Then you toss in some jumbo shrimp, mushrooms and finish it with a large amount of spinach!

Castellane is best when served with sauces packed with chunky tomatoes and extra garlic.

Answer: fiore

Although the "experts" say this pasta is best with sturdy sauces, I prefer to have it with my mushroom consomme.

10. My center is hollow And my color is yellow I too like my friend before Resemble a flower but not my core

Answer: campanelle

Always a great pasta to have in the summer, either with hearty sauces, or my favorite, with chilled crab salad. Just don't forget the celery salt!

(personally my favorite pasta brand)
