what is your favourite pasta type/shape and why? which one do you cook with more and which one has better taste/texture?
>>21682367My all time favorite texture has to be that meme pasta from reddit "cascatelli". My go to is spaghettini.
Elbows. Easy to shove into my mouth from a bowl.
Mafaldine is pretty versatile.
>>21682373beat me to it. elbows fit best into a spoon.
>>21682382>Mafaldinenigga that's skillet lasagna

This is a fettuccine household.
>>21682367The mouthfeel of radiatore is unmatched.
conchiglie
>>21682438based
>>21682415>mama mia! luigi, what do we name-a da pasta?*luigi looks at the wall*
>>21682367depends on the dish but for basic pasta + sauce, tagliatelle and it isn't even close
>>21682496it's a stupid name, but it's a great vehicle for sauce
>>21682367love these meaty tubes for casseroles
The humble spaghetti is my favorite.Now let me tell you about my most HATED pasta. The fucking bowtie. The center core takes 30 minutes to fully cook (while the rest gets overcooked), and this shit pasta is impossible to catch with a fork, and it slips off from spoons.They also can't catch any sauce so they're bland. Fuck them
>>21682673they are the most aesthetic though
>>21682673>30 minutes oh really? when I boil them they usually cook all trough, and when I want them to be a little al dente then of course i will undercook, but I've never cooked pasta for more than maybe 10, 15 minutes, 30 to me sounds like too much.spaghetti is alright, I would say the most universal typeI use bowties mostly in salads, since they fit them perfectly, they aren't fully coated in a sauce and they don't slip up that much, I used them once in marinara and it wasn't that good, should have went with other shape.
>>21682691"30 minutes" is just hyperbole. An exaggeration. It just takes way longer to cook than expected.
>>21682367the flat noodle one
>>21682673I definitely agree on the bowtie, I thought the exact same thing the last time I made the mistake of buying them, why do they even exist?For me, it's fusilliTagliatelle if I want long type pasta
>>21682673these exist as a vehicle for pasta salad and that's pretty much it. Also, FUCK penne noodles
>>21682367For me it's Cascatelli, the all-new pasta shape. Designed for maximum forkability and toothsomeness.
>>21682367For me, it's Gnocchi.
>>21682367for me its aroni
>>21683036what's wrong with penne?
Knees
this is exactly the kind of question an italian would ask
>>21683053>toothsomenessToothsinkability, get it right
>>21683275it sounds like penis and that's pretty gay
>>21682367This one taste really good>>21682382I also love the longer version of this one, reginette
>>21683390>tasteI meant i prefer them, they taste all the same lol
>>21683390barilla strikes again
ROTINI IS THE GOAT
I fucking love pappardelle.
>>21683430yeah that's what i usually usebut i might try the radiator one for whenever i attempt a mushroom sauce
Dinos.
>>21682367whatever pasta my mom makes mebecause I love her and anyone who makes me food
>>21683636I'll make you some pasta, Anon!
>>21683641Ok. I'll eat it.
>>21683472those dinos...they look a little crusty, fossilized even.

>>21682367Bowtie /thread
>>21683641>>21683707Get a room you two, sheeeesh!
>>21683460My favourite too, any flat long will do. I don't actually like spaghetti and other long tubes. Penne is my favourite for fast cooking with a simple sauce. The bowtie ones are indeed nice to look at but annoying to eat. I use spirelli for macaroni cheese (and ham/bacon) despite it not being macaroni at all. Conchielli are cute. I had some ear type and those are nice in a Broth. I love gnocchi but technically not a pasta. Ravioli and tortellini are easy to buy with fillings and that is comforting food to me.
>>21682367Tagliatelle. It's annoying when someone serves you Bolognese that doesn't come with Tagliatelle. Spaghetti is obviously as retarded as it gets, 99% of the time it isn't mixed with the sauce either so you know that you're dealing with a halfwit before you even try the food. >>21683460Pappardelle is just an abomination of Tagliatelle, it's way too wide and not satisfying at all
>>21682367Curly spiral pasta, the smaller ones
For me it's rigatoni, at least for tomato sauces
>>21683360Ironically I hate saying I hate penne pasta because I actually love cock.But that fucking shape is so miserable to bite into and I dont know why.
