Do you have a favorite kind of pasta?
I'm not talking sauce, I'm talking the actual pasta? Do you prefer spaghetti, linguine, or fettuccine? Or do you prefer rigatoni or penne? What do you like?
It often depends on the sauce for me, but I've decided over the past year or so that spaghetti isn't what you should serve with meat sauce. Rigatoni all the way, and I find myself using rigatoni almost exclusively. Also, do you have a favorite brand of dried pasta? I recently found La Molisana (an Italian import) at my po-dunk Winn Dixie and gave it a shot. It's by far my favorite; I highly recommend it if you can find it. http://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B...=AKAQCURF3N5K5 |

I'm a fan of Penne with any sort of meat sauce.

Typically whatever is on my plate at the time is my favorite.

Rotini.
Actually any pasta that is long I'm not a big fan of. Spaghetti, fettuccine, etc. I want to eat. I don't need to work out my left hand and forearm. ![]()

Angel hair for noodles, penne for pasta
Gluten free/non GMO/etc is preferred. It actually tastes better to me.

I don't like those really big ones, mostly because their large internal volumes typically throw off the ideal cheese/sauce/meat/pasta ratios.
I don't like the short thick ones because they're hard to keep on a fork. Lasagna noodles work for lasagna, but not much else. I'd probably lean toward classic spaghetti. Angel hair is easy to manage, but I think I prefer thick spaghetti noodles. They seem more homemade.

Please tell me that this is a double entendre.

It varies depending on the meal, but rigatoni and angel hair are probably my two favorites for meat sauces.
