Favorite type of PASTA?

[POP!]

MAJOR POLL COMING...

[POP!]

I'm going to take a bit of a risk and say Mostaccioli, although it really depends on the sauce. If it's a marinara type sauce I often go for spaghetti but if it's a creamier sauce I like something in the 'penne' family.

I LOVE the idea of Rigatoni but you can hardly ever managed scoop up any sauce with it, it's not functional enough... otherwise it would've been my pick.

[Star]

I will NEVER order spaghetti in a restuarant as I don't want to make a fool of myself eating it.

[Beverley]

WHERES THE RAVIOLI

[RobotBoy]

WHERES THE RAVIOLI

JUST what I was about to ask. Or any filled, shaped sheet pasta for that matter.

Anyway, I am a purist and I am going for linguine. Much better than spaghetti in terms of getting sauce to adhere to it. DeCecco linguine is NEVER out of my kitchen.

[Star]

Pop, may I add ravioli to your poll?

[RobotBoy]

I had pumpkin ravioli for my dinner tonight. It was ace.

[POP!]

Pop, may I add ravioli to your poll?

Yes, you may if you have not already.

[Sheena]

PENNE and Linguini for me

[delirium]

Me and Turnerprize know how to live it up. I love tortellini with pesto, cherry tomatoes and avocado.

Mmmmmm

If anyone wants to travel thousands of miles, I'd be happy to make it for you

[Superstylin']

Hmm Lasagne edges it for me .. wheres Tagliatele?? Love that with meatballs.

[jørgen]

Vermicelli.

[Win_the_game]

Tortelloni with spinach and ricotta

[Molicious]

I think I need PICTURES

I like the little curly ones

[Apocalypt_flyer]

BUMP BUMP BUMP

I'm pretty much open to all pasta shapes because there's a perfect sauce to every shape. However, a few weeks ago I started to use the aformentioned De Cecco pasta and I don't see myself buying from another brand EVER again. They've quite expensive but there's a grocery chain in Germany running an offer selling 1kg packages for £1.20 this week and I've bought SILLY amounts.

[Ellie]

Fusilli for me.

[Johnkm]

Ravioli for me, although a lot does depends on what is in it.

[Apocalypt_flyer]

Oh and where the HECK are the Tagliatelle in that poll? I'm appalled!

[Mugatu]

Linguine, or the curly one.

[Tetris-Rock]

Tagliatelle, I think. It's great for mixing stuff through it. Me and my friend did the standard olive oil with spinach, cherry tomatoes & pine nuts the other day. DE-LISH.

[Suedehead]

I haven't had pasta in nearly a year. Not a huge fan at all.

[That One]

Spaghetti Hoops

[Dark Carnival]

Fettuccine

[Johnkm]

The poll really isn't very comprehensive. Not that it bothers me because I tend to just stick to whatever is on offer

[Apocalypt_flyer]

I don't think I'd cope. I love everything about pasta FAR FAR FAR too much.

[lolly]

My new favourite is STROZZAPRETI



I love pasta. And gnocchi. And carbs in general.

[Mats]

Apoca, I only buy De Cecco too. the tripoline is my favourite

[Apocalypt_flyer]

Oooh, those looks a bit like Trofie, which are the typical ones they use in Liguria for Pasta al pesto genovese (with 2 chopped potatoes and some french beans)

[David]

Fusilli for me

[Penelope]

CONCHIGLIE. Or penne. Fusili is the other main one I tend to get as it comes in those massive 3kg bags but it doesn't half piss me off that it just can't hold anything.

[Edward]

PAPPARDELLE

[funky]

Pasta all tastes the same right? Just different shapes.... except for Gnocchi, which is a disgusting invention.

That said I particularly love rigatoni and tagliatelli, because of the texture and the dishes it usually comes in.

You've just answered your own question, texture makes ALL the difference

[JET BOY]

I am a big advocate of the rarely stocked RIGATONI personally -



Always the one I buy if I am making a sauce based pasta. Its AMAZING with a ragu because as the pasta is chunky, it gets really coated with the sauce, and you get bits of the sauce caught inside the tubes - even better is with grated cheese on top of the rigatoni with a bit of ragu caught inside, as the cheese clings to the pasta shape too and melts round it, making really quite a pleasurable eating experience. Seriously FUCK SPAGHETTI (not really, spaghetti certain has its own place too).

Lasagne is also AMAZING of cause, but a bit of a different beast to the penne and spiral twists of the world.

Filled pasta I like occasionally, but again I see it as a separate entity in my mind.

[POP!]

I'm not sure why I picked mostaccioli, it's fine but in hindsight not very NOTABLE.

I'd currently agree with JET BOY in that rigatoni is the best. But I rarely eat it anymore because they only seem to stock whole wheat pasta in penne and spaghetti

[American guy]

As a kid Ravioli Chef Boyardee! Probably not how you spell that, but whatever. As a teen always chose the Oncor Lasagne over the Oncor Mostaccioli. I hated spaghetti, now love it, but i like the old fashion meat balls nobody makes anymore. Like made out of hamburger the size of a baseball. But anyways I have macaroni salad in the refrigerator so i'll go with macoroni

sike

Going with LASAGNA
