Actually, there is one, as spaghetti is plural. The singular is spaghetto. It starts out from the root spago, from the Italian, which means "cord" or "string." So spaghetti means cords/strings. Spaghettini (plural of spaghettino) are thinner.

This is in Italian, the language of the culture from which this food derives, but, obviously, people in English-speaking countries don't usually know this.

Pasta is a mass noun and is generally not pluralised. However the plural form would be pastas, e.g.:

Fettuccine, lasagne, linguine and tagliatelle are well-known ribbon pastas.

The word 'pasta' is singular (it means 'dough' or 'paste'). It has no plural form in normal usage.

'Would you like some pasta?' (Not 'some pastas'.)

'I have cooked three different types of pasta.' (Not 'three pastas'.)

'You can have potatoes or pasta with your meat.' (Not 'potatoes or pastas'.)

Scampo, in Italian. However in English, scampi is used for both singular and plural uses. It is a way of cooking certain crustaceans, such as the Norway lobster, shrimp or prawns.
