Alphabet pasta, also referred to as alfabeto and alphabetti spaghetti in the UK,[1] is a pasta that has been mechanically cut or pressed into the shapes of the letters of an alphabet (almost always the Latin alphabet). It is often served in an alphabet soup, which is also sold in a can of condensed broth or as a packet soup. Another variation, alphagetti, consists of letter-shaped pasta in a marinara or spaghetti sauce.
Small pieces of carrot and some spices are often added to the filling. The noodles are up to one centimeter in size and are shaped like the letters A-Z and, more rarely, the numbers 0-9 or the @ sign.
