As a child, I was constantly surrounded by pasta. While other kids were eating Gerbers, I was eating baby pastina (or at least that’s what my family calls the pasta used in soup). Every time a family member would ask me what kind of pasta I wanted, I would get confused. Aren’t they all the same? I would ask. Now, I know better. What type of pasta you choose in that situation says a lot about you.
Here’s what each kind of pasta says about you:
1. Spaghetti: Warmhearted

2. Penne: Easygoing
