What is your favourite pasta shape?

[currentlybrunette]

One of my New Year’s resolutions is to eat every shape of pasta in 2026.

What’s your favourite shape?

Mine is rigatoni.

Same here - Rigatoni.
But I love Spiralli in a mac n cheese.
What a great NY res

I like a prawn pasta using tagliatelle. Make my own sauce using puree, chopped tomatoes, onions garlic and other spices and add soft cheese at the end to make it creamy.

penne

spaghetti alla chittara is a close second

Oh here’s a thread I can get behind.

I really enjoy Bucatini, not sure Incan go back to the spaghetti days.

I like a giant conchiglie too, as long as it’s well drained…

Not too adventurous but ALDI only have so many shapes.

Aldi do a fresh tagliatelle which is nice and Cooks in 4 minutes. The bag is huge though.

Rigatoni or spaghetti. Depends on the sauce

Al of them 😃😃

Fusilli, I use it for everything. Despite having spaghetti, linguine, rigatoni, penne and macaroni in the cupboard! N

I love farfalle (the bows)

I don't really have one, it depends what sauce I'm having with it.
I don't like farfalle though.

The Christmas festive shapes. No idea what makes them so nice. But they are.

Action man bow ties.

Rigatoni, but love a good home made cannelloni.

Penne or linguine for long. Did once have an incredible pasta in Italy, it was like a really thick spaghetti. Found it in a shop to buy but was hand luggage only and had no spare space 😭 and now I can’t remember what it’s called, it’s not got a hole in the middle, it was solid and al dente and had the most amazing sauce. My god I still daydream about that pasta…

I don’t like shells - too hard to get all the water out. I like a classic penne though if I’m having bolognese only spaghetti will do.

Back of the net

I don’t like bow ties either - soggy at the ends and still hard in the middle. Also, they’re flat so it doesn’t look like there’s much on the plate.

Caesarecce for short pasta, Buccatini for long.

Yes, that's what I don't like about them too.

Linguini.

I do tagliatelle with bol, but spaghetti with meatballs.

Gemelli

I was coming on to say rigatoni, but once I googled it, bucatini looks like the winner.

Rigatoni is my favourite, i really wish i could get 3kg bags of them as we get through so many, I don't like the bows - they don't look substantial and I tend to cook too many and then overeat them 😂

Linguine and farfalle.
