Shan, a pasta, as well as any story should be long enough to make a point abundantly clear. But keep in mind that the the shorter it is, the more weight each word carries. So a shorter story/pasta is much, much harder to write. At least successfully.

My suggestion is write something that you think gets the point completely accross. Then like a sculpter, trim away everything that is unecessary.
