Pasta Shapes

What is your favorite pasta shape and why.

I like bow ties because they're so *formal*

Depends on what I am making. For regular pasta, I like penne or spirals. For soup, orzo or ditalini - although, I did just use pastina. Mac and Cheese I like shells the best.

Cavatappi is my favorite.


I hate Fusilli. Feels like squirming worms in my mouth.

I love fettucini, but would not eat it in a restaurant as I believe it to be the messiest of all the pastas.

I think all fans of pasta of whatever colour or shape should bury their differences, come together and gang up on the couscous eaters.

I fine with plain old spaghetti, but I am a size-ist, I prefer thin or angel hair.

I grew up in the Midwest. Pasta shouldn't be chewy.

I am also a big fan of the Spaghetti-O. With the little hot dogs.
