First, I think it's important that we get acquainted with what we love to eat--pasta. Most Filipinos -- including me -- only know spaghetti. And no matter what pasta is used, if it is with tomato sauce and beef or vegemeat for vegetarian then it's spaghetti. Now, you're about to kiss your ignorance goodbye. LOL! Don't worry was in the same shoes until I married my Sicilian husband.
- spaghetti -- is the most common pasta, the long stick
- macaroni -- is the bended pasta which is hollow inside
- conchiglie -- (pronounced as Kong-Kil-ye) it's the one that looks like a shell, used by Pinoys to make sopas (soup)
- penne -- is like macaroni which is hollow but it's straight with slanted ends
For a more comprehensive list check Wikipedia's List of Pasta.
Each type of pasta can be cooked with tomato sauce and meat and the recipe is called according to the type of pasta and the sauce. Example, macaroni and tomato sauce, macaroni cheese, spaghetti and tuna etc, etc.
