Mi piacciono la pizza e la pasta OR Mi piace la pizza e la pasta

Ciao tutti.

I think I almost have it with 'piacere' but am stumped with this one: Mi piacciono la pizza e la pasta OR Mi piace la pizza e la pasta.

So far I have...

piace - singular nouns & infinitives

piacciono - plural nouns

Because there are two things - pizza and pasta - I'm not sure whether to use the singular or plural.

Thanks

Ciao yaishtar and welcome.

Where you have two nouns, you should use the plural form of the verb. So, mi piacciono is correct; both the pizza and the pasta are pleasing to you.

Hope this helps

Peter is correct.
If you want to keep the verb singular, you could say, "Mi piace mangiare la pizza e la pasta", or "Mi piace mangiare sia la pizza sia (che) la pasta."
