I just love pasta but I cant eat it right now
Really? Why not? I love it! It's a staple food in Italy. If was first discussed in literature in 1115 in Sicily. 
it has too many carbs for a low cal diet, I think Italy where it was first eaten right?
Yes! Maybe you can enjoy an alternative type like pastas made from rice flour? It's pretty good and has more protein. 
no rice or rice flour either, coconut flour or almond flour only. I wonder how many pasta dishes there are, probably too many variations to count I suppose
There's a lot definitely! It depends on the region where its made, with different shapes and types being popular to a specific region.
oh really I like all the shapes and types
Me too! There are 310 specifics shapes of pasta with over 1300 different names documented. It's quite amazing!
oh actually that is way more then I even imagined.
Haha yeah. To give and example, the shape "cavatelli" has 28 known names, depending on where it's made.
