depends on the sauce

just made egg noodles

For me it's rotini or fusilli because the spirals traps more of the sauce and ingredients

Shit, this thread is full of pleb pasta.

>>11990484
if i have ricotta cheese in the fridge i'll use rigatoni so i can plop a bit on a plate, then some hot sauce on top, then rigatoni. it's like a lazy lasagna, sort of.

I like all of the choices in this thread more than regular spaghetti. They just suck at taking up sauce. The only redeeming feature is the fork spinning.

>>11990538

I cannot see anything bad at that.
Gimme dat sauce.

>>11990484
ayyyyyy Toni Spamoni gimmie the Rigatoni!

I prefer a penne.... easier to eat

>unironically eating spaghetti instead of this in 2019

>>11992035
What if you turn it the other way round? Which direction counts as width and which for thickness?

>>11992076
thick implies three-dimensional "width", which flat pastas distinctly lack

Spaghetti or Carbonara: bucatini
Alfredo or simple olive oil: farfalle
Pesto: tortellini
Cheese: medium shells

>>11992214
>4 or 5 shells stuck into each other
god I hate it when they do that

>>11992499
Cavatappi for mac and cheese isn't really a secret for anyone who's left the basement in the last decade, as it's the standard restaurant noodle. Still kind of unbelievable that there are anons who think fucking shells of all things is good for mac and cheese. Pro-tip: it's the worst, and without anything chunky to find their way into the shells they're just going to stack up on top of one another and make for a terrible experience.

>overcooked pasta
>overcooked meat
>bland sauce
ffs

>>11990484
Depends on the sauce. Some pasta has more surface area, more nooks and crannies, that's perfect for a thin sauce. Some pasta is thick with very little surface area, that requires a very thick sauce. Italian guide to checking if your combination of pasta and sauce was right:
>If the plates come back plastered in sauce, you screwed up.
>If the plates come back slightly covered in sauce, your sauce stuck to the pasta. Good job.
>If the plates come back into the kitchen sparkly clean, the sauce was so good they used table bread to clean it up.

I'm more of an Aramis kind of guy

>>11993041
This is true, also pasta that has huge pieces of meat like shrimp is also fine

Otherwise pasta is only fitting as a side for something like chicken or veal

>>11990484
Every form of pasta works for some kind of dish.

>>11992197
Alfredo and fettuccine is absolutely unmatched, except maybe by bolognese and tagliatelle.

>>11990484
I don't understand this practice of putting enough cheese for a single bite on top of the dish.
For practical purposes you either avoid the cheese for health reasons or you put enough to actually have it be a component of the dish, I'll never understand the mindset of cheese being a garnish.

>>11990484
So what, no fuckin ziti now?

>>11990484
I prefer thicker sauces so rigatoni

>>11990491
This shit isn't even in the same class as above pic

Linguine master race

>>11992214

>>11993016
No, no fucking ziti. we cancelled that shit last year fag

>>11990484
Rigatoni if being practical, spaghetti for fun and nostalgia.

>>11992605
>>11992499
Looks too long, like you'd just end up with mostly empty "macaroni".

My personal go-to pasta is linguine, although I appreciate that each pasta has its use.
