Can you name 30 types of pasta in less than five minutes? Sporcle's Pasta Quiz challenges know-it-all foodies to prove their macaroni mettle by typing in the identities of the cheap staple.

Warning: The quiz will take the "American" name for some, but not all, pasta types. Otherwise, you better brush up on your Italian spelling and get in there.

Take the Pasta Quiz here. The highest no-cheating score at Meal Ticket so far is 17 out of 30. How many can YOU name?
