What’s your favourite pasta brand?

[CurlewKate]

If you’re someone who likes pasta, I mean. Obviously, supermarket for everyday. But for a special occasion?

I watched an tv programme where they blind tasted dried pasta and no-one could tell any difference between the premium brands and the supermarket ones!

My only pasta extravagance is buying fresh pasta on occasion, especially tagliatelle

I like pasta but use Barilla/De Cecco/Lidl/M&S whatever the occasion. It just depends where I’ve shopped or what’s on offer.
Although for Lasagne specifically I prefer Barilla.

Damn. I didn’t want to know that!
(fresh pasta is definitely worth making, by the way. And the quickest thing ever!)

Yep-I buy all those-except Aldi not Lidl. I’ve just seen some eyewateringly expensive pasta in a very pretentious shop, and I was tempted……

Felicetti is good. I do find the sauce sticks to the more pricier pasta better

real foods stroprazetti is great too

TkMaxx coloured pasta. They always have a really good selection.

Rummo or M&S’ own brand.

A bit OTT, but has anyone seen green lasagne sheets recently ?

Garofalo Bio is my favourite. Apparently the paler a dried pasta is, the slower it has been dried (less heat used) which is superior according to an Italian I know.

De Cecco everytime. You can 100% tell the difference. There's a silkiness and a satisfying bite to it that you just don't get with cheap pasta (ie it doesn't go mealy and mushy).

De Cecco ogni volta!

Rummo and Garofolo

De Cecco, and Barilla is good too.
You can definitely taste the quality.

No not for ages.

I second de cecco. I want green lasagne sheets back too I miss them.

Rummo or that one la mollisana or something because it does square spaghetti which is another level of good

Rummo
Very dense, solid and delicious.

Lidl bronze die pasta is excellent.
