Geometry & Science of Pasta

The Geometry of Pasta, by Caz Hildebrand & Jacob Kenedy (Quirk Books), is coming out on the 17th of August. I am quite excited about it. A self-described "pastatarian," I am enamored of the endless amounts of shapes of noodles. I like the designs, the detailed ridges & miniscule patterns that form in each piece of pasta.


I would like to learn to make pasta from scratch with such intricate designs. I've never made it out of flour, but here is an electric version: My neon farfalle, from the 31st Annual Museum of Luminous Phenomenon Outdoor Light Exhibition, 2008. (All of the farfalle are filled with neon gas. The fork has argon gas & mercury.)
