Pippe it's difficult to translate, at least for me. It means pipsqueak, squirt, wanker. Basically saying you're mediocre, stupid etc.
We also use it to say "mental masturbation" (pippe mentali), when someone makes too much fuss over something (like step sequence topic. )
In this case though there is a kind of pasta called Pipe Rigate: http://fanzhongsheng.en.ec21.com/Pasta-Pipe--3875102.html
So they made it Pippe with sauce. Cooked.
Mille grazie!
US markets carry many pasta brands (including Barilla ) in a bewildering variety of shapes but that one doesn't look familiar. I'm a creature of habit, though, and almost always end up with penne. Sometimes fettuccine if I'm feeling wild and crazy.
mental masturbation...pippe mentali...comma shagging --- you and TMC are making me We usually just call it "nitpicking" but those are lots more fun!
