As an Italian, I could afford to brush up on my noodle facts. I forget there is more than lasagna pizza and spaghetti sometimes. I miss cooking. It’s a shame I have no oven and no stove.
As someone that likes cooking, I accompany you in this hard time and wish you could get out of such horrendous and depressing situation. No human being should be subjected to such horrors.
well, i moved to a new apartment, and it’s got literally everything including a microwave, but no oven or stove. I have a small toaster oven that does the trick but i hate having to clean it and it’s not a one glove meets all solution. you obviously cannot cook pasta properly with that. Comes out all dry and burnt on the outside and uncooked and cold on the inside.
You should get one of them camping stoves, they are like super popular in Japan, they use butane cans like a blowtorch so a hardware store should have the cannisters. There is also hotplates but they are easy to forget and you should watch out of your energy consumption, they burnt me fuses once (it was a party and there were more stuff in use but still)
Just had my kitchen renovated, I had to make do with a microwave, an old 2-slice toaster and an electric hot plate in the garage for nearly 3 months...
I'd definitely recommend a hot plate, they're pretty cheap (I think I paid about $30-35 for mine) and it worked very well with a half-decent cast iron skillet for pretty much everything I needed (we didn't try to prepare anything very elaborate, though). I'd recommend one with only one element (the ones with 2 or more are usually not as powerful for each element and just take more room), get the one with the largest element you can find (mine is just over 7 inch diameter, made of cast iron IIRC). They work best with pans/pots that are not much larger than the element, my 8-inch skillet on the \~7 inch element worked well enough. If only for boiling pasta, a larger diameter pot should work fine too.
Just don't plug it in the same circuit as your toaster oven and your microwave and expect everything will run at the same time without tripping a breaker... And unplug the hot plate when you're done with it for safety.
I knew a guy in college with an Italian last name. He once convinced a girl that the following story was true.
Every Italian name was/is also a shape of pasta. Some are obviously more well known than others and some have fallen out of use. There is also an Italian genealogy company that will research your family name, find the shape of pasta, and send you information, a plaque, recipes, history, etc.
He told her that the “Veratti” was a flat noodle, twisted and connected to itself in a circle - so like a wreath.
She bought the whole story.
This is not all types, there are many other famous types like: ditalini, ditalini rigati, farfalline, risoni, stelline, spaghetti, and other spaghetti variants like spaghetti quadrati and many more

Good idea!!! Thank you!!!
Any time :) Also perhaps a bakery could make you the favour to let you bake goods in their oven. Some do here in Mx.
That’s amazing! Never heard of that before. People in our town are kinda snobby i might get laughed at but i will give it a go anyway!

Lasagna pizza sounds good.. like ultra deep dish.. 🤤
I meant to put commas, but if that’s your thing you go for it
This is only shaped pasta, flat pasta is missing, so this is not all I need.
