There is an amazing variety of fresh and dried pasta shapes and sizes in Italy, referred to as formati (shapes and sizes). Their names have to do with their surface (smooth, rough, grooved), their size, expressed with a suffix, such as -one, -etto, -ino, etc, and/or what they resemble. Marika makes some sense of the vast assortment of pasta found in Italian supermarkets.

Marika divides the types of pasta into different categories and explains their characteristics, ranging from ingredients to shelf life, to cooking time, and consistency.

We continue to look at the Maserati Khamsin model, which got its name from the Egyptian desert wind and has always been a symbol of aristocracy.

The word pure has several meanings, from "also" to "even," to "although." Marika explains them and gives us some examples in context.

We take a look at the Maserati Khamsin, produced during the oil crisis of the nineteen seventies. It didn't need much restoring and was particularly comfortable.

"Manco" is a bit more complicated than "mica" because it's often used with irony. It's also used with the impersonal third person, making it rather tricky to translate. But remembering that it means neanche (not even) can help.
