This is a category that's been padded out into an article. There's really no other way of saying it. This article has three main components: The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!, which says "Pasta is a running gag! Isn't that interesting?" and then goes on to give details about all the real-life pastas that are referenced, which is something that I find really stupid for a couple of reasons, notably the assumption that readers don't know what spaghetti is; the Paper Mario series, which says "Here's a bunch of Pastas in the series! Isn't that interesting?" even though this is something that a category would be much better for; and the "Minor References", which says "Pasta doesn't actually show up at any point, but people talk about it a whole bunch! Isn't that interesting?" which is grounds for a section in one of the implied lists, but certainly not a full-fledged article. Bottom line is, I wanna start serving some pasta; anyone want a bowl?

Give it out while it's still hot

1. Time Turner (talk) I'm in the mood for some pasta. Anyone else in the mood for pasta?
2. Epic Rosalina (talk) Yeah... this article is ridiculous.
3. Bluetoad63 (talk) Just one word: Meh.
4. MegaKoopa (talk) No, just no.
5. Mario (talk) The minor references section sums up how ultimately pointless this page is. But yeah, it's-a me, Mario. I'm gonna eat the page.
6. World10 (talk) Looks delicious, per all.
7. SuperYoshiBros (talk) I'll eat it! Per all.
8. Ashley and Red (talk)I think that these minor food pages should be deleted. The same applies to minor items, planets, places and emblems

Hard to believe all these pages are getting deleted. Epic Rosalina 06:54, 16 March 2014 (EDT)

It was bound to happen at some point. Hello, I'm Time Turner.

I feel that instead of just deleting this article, we could just turn it into a disambig page for the Fresh Pasta Bunch and its recipes from the Paper Mario series since those are the most notable uses of "pasta". --FREAK ~Game Freak~ OUT!

Looks like a good idea, but I personally think that disambig pages should only be used for identical names.--

A category would serve the same function, and in a more organized fashion, in my opinion. Hello, I'm Time Turner.
