What's the worst pasta shape and why is it gemelli. These things suck, they can blow my ass
>>20981987angel hairall strand pasta sucks though
spaghetti, it is inconveniently long by design. Thank goodness you can give it the ol' snap city and fix it
>>20981987I like these, whats wrong with them?
>>20982012They're fusilli's retarded cousin that's either come out too hard or overcooked
>>20982020Sounds like a skill issue, no offence
>>20981992angel hair is one of my favorites and i was surprised to see how many people here hate it
>>20982037I have ptsd from mom mistaking angel hair for spaggetti as a kid and forcing us to eat bolognese with it, with sauce dishes it just becomes one big sloppa
>>20982041oh, yeah. i can understand that. angel hair only really pairs well with oil or butter sauces.
>>20981987Can I get the written studies on how pasta shape is actually relevant or contributes differently to different dishes or is it all just self-aggrandizing bullshit?
orzo.nigga might as well just use rice at that point
>>20982047Italians are pretentious retards when it comes to a lot of things but they are right about how much texture and mouth feel matters, it's just as important as flavor
>>20981999this. my family rejects more convenient shapes like fusilli or penne because they "taste bad" despite tasting exactly the same as other pasta
>>20982047Why do you need a written study to understand that heavy sauces don't pair well with fragile pasta shapes
>>20981987this stuff is garbage that turns to mush so easily.
>>20982049I'm pretty sure rice is ultimately worse for your blood sugar than pasta is.
>>20982074Is there no grand unified pasta shape that can handle any sauce? It's like saying a square slice of bread is lesser than or greater than a round slice of bread because round can hold peanut butter better than square. No, I refute your claim.
>>20982074Because otherwise it's just bullshit old wives tails. Why CAN'T I break the damn spaghetti in half?
>>20982080penne can handle anything
>>20982080>Is there no grand unified pasta shape that can handle any sauce?fusilli / spirals
>>20982080rigatoni is my favorite but penne is objectively the best>but lady and the tramp spaghetti kissesjust make the penne longer
Why is fettuccine used for something and not little bowties instead? The same amount of food is going on my mouth. If I shovel a fist full of pasta penises in my mouth, how is that different from bowties?
you know what I don't understand? linguine. when would you ever use it instead of spaghetti?
>>20982077Who gives a shit
>>20982092i like the flat texture, and saying it outloud is more satisfying
>>20982077What leads you to that conclusion?
>>20981999It packs great though.
>>20981987this
>>20982125>Cascatelli>new meme pasta designed by engineers to physically hold as much sauce inside them as possible.>just happens to be shaped like little vaginaswhat did god mean by this
>>20982125Looks like some sea creature from the cambrian era
>>20982133idk but it's too damn expensive. I'm gonna stick with my 'roni
>>20981987forget the pasta, can i blow your ass?
>>20982136>reeee but it HAS to be expensive>it's a BRONZE dieyeah im not buying the meme pasta either
>>20982140>but the sauce sticks better!!!!
>>20982055why would you say mouth feel after already typing out texture? do you want to sound like an ESL tard?
>>20982077OH NO OH NO MY HECKIN BLOOD SUGARINO SPIKED FOR 30 SECONDS AFTER EATING IM GUNNA DIE
>>20981987The worst one I've ever had experience with was the thick one shaped almost like a little suction cup
>>20982037love a nice thin angel hair carbonara. Or some arrabiata. A nice lil piece of buttery/garlicky ciabatta. Love angel hair.
>>20982154I am an ESL, tard.
>>20982171orecchiete?yeah they're like glorified dumplings. definitely can't shovel a whole bowl of them. too dense
>>20982185ugh gross
