Kirby Posted March 22 Share #1 Posted March 22 Sure spaghetti is a classic and lasagna noodles are important for lasagna, but do you have a favorite pasta shape for when you're just having pasta or mixing it in some recipe where you can choose among shapes? Farfalle looks fancy like it's all dressed up for the night, and orichiette is good at holding lots of sauce in its little shell shapes. Rotini is also good at holding sauce in its curves and Wagon Wheel (ruote) is just fun. And we all know Fusilli is a crazy bas*ard But how about you? What pasta shapes do you tend to use?

Razors Edge ★ Posted March 22 Share #2 Posted March 22 Noodles for sure. Mostly thin spaghetti. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randomguy Posted March 22 Share #3 Posted March 22 I like regular spaghetti. The wagon wheels are fun for kids, but the odd shapes often don't cook as evenly. Now I want pasta for lunch, thanks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Silly Posted March 22 Share #10 Posted March 22 No love for orzo? It makes a great summer pasta salad. Orzo with Italian dressing, cherry tomatoes, blanched asparagus and cucumber then add you favorite herbs and spices. You’ve got a cool salad you can have for a side or a main course on a warm summer day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My local grocery store sells a wonderful Chicken Orzo soup and there is always the wonderful Lemon Chicken Soup made with orzo too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parsnip Totin Jack ★ Posted March 22 Share #13 Posted March 22 Thin spaghetti for general purpose. Regular for spaghetti and meatballs or chili Mac. Cannelloni is really good for stuffed tubes in a casserole style; tomato sauce with a beschamel dressing. Ziti for casserole dishes. Sometimes I like to mix pasta, farfalle and rotini are good together in a pasta salad. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maddmaxx ★ Posted March 22 Share #17 Posted March 22 Linguine and rotini. Womaxx makes a very thick sauce and those have a lot of surface area for it to stick to. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
