Talking pasta shapes you can't get around Legendre's seminal Pasta by Design. It is the reference book when it comes to the mathematical analysis of your favourite noodle form.
It even has the invention of a new (back then) pasta shape.
Here is what the New York Times has to say about it:
"Mr. Legendre has even designed a new shape — ioli, named for his baby daughter — which looks like a spiral wrapped around itself, a tubelike Möbius strip."
