Throw a pasta party with FairPrice

World Pasta Day may have taken place last month. But for pasta fans, celebrating their love for it only once a year is just not enough.

In fact, enjoying their favourite Italian dish will likely be a weekly - if not daily - affair.

There are over 600 shapes of pasta available, and their names are descriptive of their forms.

Be spoilt for choice with FairPrice Housebrand's range of noodle types - straight from Italy - and cook up a storm for the perfect pasta party during the upcoming holiday season.

For a classic crowd-pleasing meal, pair FairPrice Spaghetti Pasta (500g, $1.95) - which is cholesterol- and trans fat-free - with meatballs and homemade bolognese sauce. Full of carbs and protein, this is surely an energy boost for anyone who needs it.

Whipping up a cream sauce pasta dish will be perfect with FairPrice Penne Rigate Pasta (500g, $1.95), which holds sauces well. A tube-shaped pasta that is cut diagonally at both ends, be ready to delight the children by pairing it with grilled chicken and Alfredo sauce.
