I fucked up that subject line something fierce
fettuccine

elbows.

fuck elbows.

Not sure what it's called but I bought this long, hollow pasta once and it was awful. Too thick to be able to twirl, you had to cut it into small pieces to eat, but it wasn't easily forkable like penne. I got so frustrated that I just threw my fork away and used my hands, shoving into my mouth .

>>9656062
You're scum if you don't enjoy fettuccine. Especially with lemon and garlic sauce.

>>9656081

rigatoni.

yeah, rigatoni is objectively the absolute worst shape of pasta

>>9656062
This shit.

>needing a spoon to eat pasta
fuck off.

>>9656081
Bucatini? Yeah I have no idea what the point of that shape is.

>>9656117
I have to agree with this anon. I don't dislike it but it's far at the bottom of my list. Truly only worth putting in soups

>>9656081
That sounds terrible.

>>9656176
Good in kasha varnishkes

Angel hair is the fuckn worst,
Just a really really shitty version of spag

>>9656062
That's the best shape of pasta you swine.

Couscous

not a fan of orecchiette

>>9656176
right after my parents' divorce my dad made this with butter and seasoned salt at least 50% of the time I was over at his apartment

Angel hair is completely irredeemable garbage. Its production and sale should honestly be criminalized.

>>9656225
>>9656371
Angel hair is literally the best pasta for pesto sauce. Not my fault you plebs dont like pesto.

>>9656067
Fuck off. Fetuccine is the finest of pastas

>>9656371

angel hair is fine in red sauce.

cream based sauce? no fuckin way, it's too delicate. IT'S TOO DELICATE TO HANDLE THE SAUCE WHEN IT COOLS DOWN AND CONGEALS A LITTLE BIT, MAN!

>>9656403
Pesto is wonderful, which is why I would never disrespect it by combining it with the culinary tragedy that is angel hair.

The pasta industry is a fucking racket. It's idiotic to think that some designs are more expensive that others just because they have different dyes. The concept of pasta itself is fucking stupid: compressed, wet, unleavened bread. Just put the ingredients you would on pasta, on bread. I hereby declare this day as pasta hate day. Remember the sixth of November.

>>9656451

pesto is too tacky for angel hair.

again: red or oil based sauce is fine with angel hair

>>9656468

is it possible for somebody to be this assblasted about pasta? surely there is no way..

>>9656478
pesto can be oil based, its not always a cream sauce

>>9656506
Cream pesto? The hell you talkin about, boy?

>>9656403
Long pasta is shit for pesto, especially angel hair. Fussili is the best.

>>9656506

i know what fucking pesto is

lol it's still way too tacky for babby size noodles. it's like chunked up basil pine nuts and garlic, the angelhair never stood a chance against a sauce like that

>>9656081
What. The. Fuck.....

>>9656176

dis nigga knows what's good

>>9656468
Wow. You re really fucking stupid.

>>9656176
>very ends ALWAYS overcook into fucking mush
>very center is ALWAYS fookin raw
>"b-b-but is looks like a bowtie xD"

FUCK farfalle

>>9656544
You clearly don't know anything

>>9656570
>I am unable to cook pasta properly
>How do people do it?

>>9656403
Just because you can't properly cook pasta and match it with compatible ingredients doesn't make it bad, it makes YOU bad. At cooking. You're a shitty cook.

It's not the worst but regular spaghetti is the most overrated. So many better choices for every kind of sauce.

>>9656576

i like pesto, get off my fucking back anon.

it's just not good with angel hair. pick a more appropriate noodle such as farfalle, penne, or pappardelle

>>9656586

spaghetti is the standard by which all other pastas are measured. it's neutral; everybody gets down with sketti.

>>9656593
I only eat it with meatballs for the nostalgia factor. Any other pasta dish, there's a better choice.

>>9656568
Fantastic argument, faggotron. Go fuck yourself in the ass with a 5-inch thick spagghetto.

>>9656586
Spaghetti has a delicious and unique texture though. There's nothing like biting into a dozen or so I perfectly al dente spaghetti strands wrapped into a tight little bundle around your fork. Even more delicious with a thin, oily sauce like aglio e olio.

>>9656062
You mean best?

Worst pasta shape coming through.
>>9656117
These are pretty shit too.

>>9656062
angel's hair

>>9656062
>>9656176
>How can you possibly believe this?!?

>>9656117
Ditalini only belongs in soup, so you should be eating it with a spoon. Try that shit with Tuscan white bean soup with sausage.

I don't like angel hair. It doesn't get al dente in the same way other pastas do.

>>9656062
Spongebob and other cartoon shaped pasta is the worst.

>>9656941
This also it doesn't hold any sauces well. Angel hair is for faggits.

>>9656062

>>9656403
I feel like every time I've tried to make angel hair + pesto I end up with a pile of garlic after I finish eating. Now I pretty much only put pesto on noodles that can "grab" stuff like anything hollow or with ridges.

Angel hair is fucking great though, I can eat that shit by the pound.

>>9656997

wtf i hate spongebob pasta now

>>9656176
Fuck I forgot about this stuff. I might go down and buy some.

>>9656252
That's great.

>>9656468
Is there something else about the 6th of november you are referencing?

>>9656602
I never really grew up with spaghetti and mestballs. We had it with minced meat instead.

>>9656790
I kind of like how it catches stuff in the center.

>>9656908
Is that spongebob?

Worst
>Penne
>Linguine

Best
>Pappardelle
>Rigatoni
>Angel hair

spirelli is the best

>>9658018
Did you call it spag bol, by chance? Nothing wrong with a nice bowl of old-fashioned spag bol tbhwyf.

fagliotelli is the worst shape.

>>9656580
You must be a fucking wizard if you can make different parts of the pasta cook at different rates. Any pasta that isn't evenly shaped will not cook properly, some people just don't care but some people notice that either the center is always underdone or the edges are overdone. Same thing happens with some ravioli because of the edges being two layers stuck together.

>>9658024

That's the Hawaiian Cursed Idol from that Eight is Enough episode.

>>9656117
My family serves chickpeas with this pasta shape, it's the only thing it's really good for I think. I wouldn't eat it on its own.

>>9656790
This is the best pasta shape for mac and cheese. It holds more cheese sauce than the majority of other shapes.

>>9658053
You could just do shells if you want maximum cheese capacity.

Why does everyone forget about Brotini?

Not huge fan of rigatoni myself

>>9656468
>new /ck/ pasta

>>9658058
I like them too, but the texture seems better with the rotelle. More tender I guess. Sometimes shells get stuck inside each other and you get some without much sauce.

>>9656468
>It's idiotic to think that some designs are more expensive that others just because they have different dyes
It would take more time to press out thinner shapes, and cost more money to make complex dyes. Also has to do with customer demand.

>>9658068

I don’t like the shells. They're coarse and rough and irritating and they get everywhere.

>>9657015
We have a winner.

>>9658051
You mean the Brady bunch newfag

>>9658026
Penne is the worst? fuck no stop the bs... it cooks well, holds sauce and can be used with plenty of recipes and meats

>>9658079

I played Scrabble with Alphagetti once. The coffee table ended up looking like a birthing suite.

>>9658068
That's actually an interesting idea with the rotelle. It seems like such a meme pasta that I basically never use it, but I'm gonna try it now. Do you do baked mac n cheese or stovetop?

>>9658080

Yes, I knew I fucked that up. Thanks.

>>9658081
I don't like penne with tomato sauce, so maybe that's why other people say they don't like it. But for some reason it goes great with cream sauces.

>>9658086
>It seems like such a meme pasta that I basically never use it
I've thought something similar before, that people assume it's an immature shape for kids for some reason so they don't want to try it, and maybe that's why I can't find it so easily now.

>Do you do baked mac n cheese or stovetop?
I do both, just depends on what I'm in the mood for and how much time I have. Works good both ways though.

>>9656318
Same, anon. I sometimes make it to try and relive those days

>>9658150
You would need to be psychotic to use curly parsley as a garnish for pasta.

>>9658157

the garnish is the absolute least of that plate of pasta's worries.. the parsley is the only edible thing in the picture.

>>9656108
Rigatoni is the best, fuckoff

>>9656997
It's fun though.

>>9658060
Good question
>watermark
Why would you save that.

>>9656062
Are you on drugs? It's literally the best shape for sauces.

>>9656081
canneloni- they're supposed to be stuffed with meat and cheese
>>9656131

>>9656468
absolute philistine

>>9656081
Fusilli? I don't like this shape either but some people love it

>>9656062
The only reason fettuccine exists is that it was the easiest one to make. Literally roll it out, cut into strips. No extruder needed, this is basically bronze age technology.
Its simply a legacy product from pre-1800s. It is completely obsolete, but Italians are stubborn as fuck and refuse to change and evolve with the times. Lets just call this more of an Italian personality flaw.

angel hair is by some distance the worst pasta ive ever had

>>9656079
Fuck you

>>9659491
>left hand helicies

enjoy your mutagenic cancer

>>9656131
Yep, I had Bucatini once too. They threw sauce all over my table the first time I tried to wrap them around my fork like Spaghetti. To hell with those fuckers

The only shape of pasta I really hate are bowties. They hold sauce like shit, and they stick together too easily, and if you cook them truly al dente, the center bit is still too undercooked.

>>9658018
>We had it with minced meat instead.
That is as it should be. Spaghetti with meatballs seems to be a purely American abomination and corruption.

Wait, angel hair and spaghetti are 2 different pastas?

>>9660415
No shit.

>>9658018
That's because you are a bong with shitty teeth that would crack on a meatball

>>9656062
The best pastas are the ones that are WIDE and THICK. Your mom agrees

>>9656252

>>9660955
I once used penis pasta to make mac and cheese. While it tasted delicious, it was extremely unpleasant to look at. I bought it because it was on sale for $.25 a box. I will say, though, the shape and holes made for excellent baked mac and cheese texture. But, no, never again.

>>9656062
>Fetuchi

>>9656062
How retarded are you? It's literally just thinner fucking spaghetti.

>>9656274
>orecchiette
Yes, they stick together like fucking suction cups, terrible shape!

>>9660990
>take some out of the pot to taste it
>two of them were stuck together
>pocket of boiling water pops open in my mouth
couldn't taste shit for a week

>>9656451
Pesto is by far the shittier sauce there is.
Might as well shove up a handful of grass and call it a sauce.

>>9661019
5 of them stuck together and not fully cooked in the middle

>>9661025
You're a terrible person.

>>9660972
Forgot to say
>literally eating a bag of dicks. Cheesy dicks.

>>9656062
Fettuccine is only good for alfredo and is the best for it.
>>9656079
Elbows or penne make for the best mac and cheese.
>>9656117
Looks like a soup pasta to me. Soup only.
>>9656176
I know there really is no practical reason for these, but I've made both red and white sauces as well as aiolis and "mayo salads" with them, I just like them sometimes. Fuck it, who cares.
>>9656790
I've never used these.
>>9656941
For certain red sauces these can be nice, but only once in a while imo.
>>9658060
These do kind of piss me off I will say.
>>9661043
I don't know about these either but it seems like I would avoid them.

Someone give me a cream based recipe that would go well with these.

>>9656225
>>9656403
I like pesto but I agree that angel hair is awful.

Someone give me a cream based recipe that would go well with these.

>>9660972
>I was surprised to find the shapes of penises in my mouth to be rather pleasant

>>9661025
Italian here. Pesto actually means 'grass' in Italian, so you might be right

>>9661493
>I have such a tiny penis, it's comparable to joke penis pasta

FTFY, nubby.

>>9656062
Fettuccine are perfect in timpano.

>>9656062
Penne.

Even the rigate, supposedly ridged to keep the sauce attached, very often just let's the sauce drip off leaving you eating bare pasta and a full plate of sauce
