Re: What type (shape) of pasta..

Love thick pastas like rigatoni, linguini, fettucini

Hate thin spaghetti and elbows (agree above poster-unless it'smac salad)

Re: What type (shape) of pasta..

Favorites are bow ties and fusilli with meat balls, but with fish and other things veg etc I like linguini or angel hair.

Re: What type (shape) of pasta..

Hate spaghetti, fettuccine, angel hair, etc. all the ones you have to cut and/or twirl. no thanks.

anything else is find with any type of sauce. I am not picky.

Though mac and cheese should be little macaroni noodles or little shells.

Re: What type (shape) of pasta..

I Love Pappardelle

And, unfortunately, I dont hate any pasta!! LOL

Re: What type (shape) of pasta..

Don't like penne, linguini, or tube pastas without ridges.

My two faves are shells and rigatoni.

Everyone else I like.

Re: What type (shape) of pasta..

loooooove angel hair, love it over any other long pasta

looove fussilli will use it for mac n cheese, pasta salads and anything with a thicker sauce

Re: What type (shape) of pasta..

My ziti has to have "lines"...Thats my only stipulation in the pasta department

Re: What type (shape) of pasta..

My faves for red sauce are fussilli (for a long) and penne rigate (for a short)

For a thin sauce like a marsala or a francaise I love angel hair.

For a thick creamy sauce I like a thick pasta, oh and ribbed is a must! If long I like fetticini.

For my seafood sauce and garlic and oil I love linguine.

I don't really like shells or orchiette cuz my gma used to always make them and she boils it til its mush! (She's old..)

Edited to be more specific.

I like fusilli cold in a pasta salad only
