I like ziti more
I'm also a sucker for "fun" pasta shapes like bowties, the spiral kind, etc.

>>15427680
Penne is the man’s choice - no wussy noodle strings, only supple tubular pasta.

>I'm scared of eating it

>>15429344
Whats wrong with you?

>>15429354
what?

>>15427680
It's the easiest to make by hand; most shaped pasta needs some other doohickey to get the shit in the right shape. Spaghetti you can just pull apart a few times and chop into a vague noodle shape.
Many such vague noodle shapes from cuisines around the globe.

> why is spaghetti the default fucking pasta? I'm scared of eating it and I hate having to look at/hear other people eat it and autistically tell waiters to sub it out for something else or to have to decline friend's dinner invitations

>>15429666
yeah it's called being scared of a texture it's pretty normal

>>15427685
Best all-purpose, for sure. You can use penne in most dishes without issue even if you'd normally use something different.

Anyone else have a go-to pasta shape for pretty much every pasta dish they regularly make? It's pretty rare that my ideal pasta for a given dish overlaps with another personally.

>>15429756
Being scared of this kind of sensory stimuli is unironically a trait of autism, and is NOT "pretty normal".

>>15429781
I change the pasta type every time I make a dish to switch it up. Like yeah baked ziti is great, but why not have baked mini shells to switch thinks up

Spaghetti is only the default pasta shape among boomer tier morons whose entire idea of pasta is spaghetti and canned/jarred tomato sauce.

Personally I only ever use spaghetti for carbonara, for everything else it's some other shape. I also rarely see spaghetti as the parts of choice in restaurants unless the dish in question is explicitly some form of spaghetti and meatballs or something. Maybe go to better restaurants?

>I'm scared of eating it

>>15429820
For me it's about optimization, I feel like certain shapes are just best suited to different things, so I enjoy them the most.

Carbonara? Needs long/thin noodles to form the sauce and get coated well when you stir in the eggs and cheese, so spaghetti (or similar) works best.
Ziti? No explanation needed. You could definitely sub in something like shells and they'd still work but I like how stone of the ziti ends up poking out at the top and get crispy when it bakes.
Chunky red sauce with like sausage and stuff? Rigatoni let's all that stuff get up inside the noodles.
Al fredo is probably the dish I'm most lenient with depending on my mood. I like farfalle because I feel like the sauce coats them really well and I like the varied texture when you cook them so the center is just barely al dente, most of the rest is normal al dente, and the edges get cooked just slightly past. It helps to add some texture to a pretty simple sauce so I like it. I've also been known to host use penne though because they do just about everything well enough.

>>15429260
Based autist who doesn't know what rotini is, but I do love a wagon wheel for mac and cheese on occasion.

More people need to start using cavatapi for mac and cheese, there is no better choice.

For me, it's mostaccioli, the best pasta.

>>15429916
Cavatapi is an excellent choice though I tend to lean towards a small rotini. Maybe it's just the resemblance to Archimedes' screw but I feel like it holds cheese sauce better than any tube since tubes are prone to air bubbles.

nobody likes rigatoni? i just want a comfy gf to make rigatoni is that too much to ask?!

>>15431187
I like rigatoni

>>15431216
>boyfriend convinces you to go

it literally glamorized anorexia

>>15427685
Penne is rendered obsolete by rigatoni.

>>15431272
i kind of agree. nothing beats an al dente rigatoni well salted with a beautiful meat sauce and a bit of cheese

>>15427680
It store more compactly. You might not think that means much, but on a mass manufacturing scale it's a huge difference. A tiny thin box of spaghetti makes more than a box of shaped pasta like macaroni three times its size.

It's also a simpler shape and therefore easier to mass produce.

>>15431216
>Having a party devoted just to eat
Were in Africa do you live that eating is seen as a cause to celebrate?

>>15431360
The dinner party is distinct because a regular party is usually more about music and alcohol. Don’t dodge the topic, would you really invite someone over for dinner and serve them spaghetti as their meal?

>>15431393
Sure, why not?

>>15431298
interesting, thanks for this response

>>15431393

>>15431393

A regular party is about socializing, you’re thinking of retarded college parties

>>15429268
Orecchiette with sausage and broccoli rabe is a top tier pasta dish

>>15429916
>>15429969

cavatappi is great for mac and cheese but highly recommend mini shells if you can find them. dozens of little individual cheese bombs in each bite.

>>15431272
>rigatoni
more like nigatoni because it's for NIGGERS

>>15431216
you can do spaghetti at a dinner party if it's a really nice sauce you worked on and simmered all day and not some jarred premade bullshit.

also if you know how to cook pasta, so fucking many people boil it to death and completely ruin the texture and don't meld it with the sauce before serving.

>>15427685
It's rigatoni for this niggertoni. Everything else is shit.

>>15431272
There is absolutely no shape better than rigatoni. Penne is a good 2nd place but it's not rigatoni.

>>15429781

fusilli. started off as a meme but I now use it whenever I cook a generic pasta dish.

Spaghetti is fun. I can slurp, slurp sluuuurrrrp

>>15427680
Most popular kind.
>>15427685
There is no "best", just different sauces. If you asked my favourite it is tagliatelle with ragù and orecchiette ai broccoli.

This.
>>15429299
Shape and texture matter.
>lol all food is same shit it's carbs, fat or fiber with something like 80% + water content xD
>>15429648
True, but something like tagliatelle is definitely easier to make at home, because they are thick and flat, whereas spaghetti are supposed to be quite round and even.
>>15429838
>canned/jarred tomato sauce.
There's literally nothing wrong with that if your sugo isn't made by a moron and you make it in bulk. Although if I'm honest even sugo from Italian stores tastes good, so does the ragù, its only abroad I've tasted some genuinely shit sauces for pasta in a jar. Mostly because they use tasteless tomatoes. Not everything from a jar is awful, especially if your country has actual standards for food quality, i.e. average person didn't grow up on fast food burgers and two kinds of cheese and off season vegetables.
>>15431187
They're nice.
>>15431216
Nothing wrong with it, you can serve it with truffles and all kinds of expensive shit like bottarga. Restaurant would serve that to you as well.
It depends if it's cooked well.
>>15431272
No, it's not, you moron. There's so many pasta dishes you can make with either shape.
>>15431393
Yes.
>>15433362
You can get in the pig pen and fatten up with your brethren. I like pigs, but not when they are bipedal.

>>15433339
Aka al dente, the way pasta should be cooked. Try penne with grated grana or parma and just better. God tier taste for something so simple.

>>15433373
Al dente is fucking undercooked

>>15429260
you werent supposed to reinvent the wheel like this Amilio...

>>15433368
The sauce on Sunday is called gravy in Sicily

>>15433376
It's not. You're not doing it right if it is.
>>15433386
Wot

>>15427680
it's a different shape, fun to twirl on a fork and slurp? idk anon it's just kinda nice

>>15433197
Probably one of the worst pasta shapes honestly. The spirals really don't soak up that much sauce, and they just wind up being a chewy wheat rod. Other shapes beat it out in pretty much every way. Penne for thick sauces, something like orecchiette for thin ones.

>>15427748
You're supposed to boil it, autismo.

>>15433597
Are you dumb, the slimy, wormy texture is what makes spaghetti so horrible.

>>15433594
>orecchiette
This is mostly specifically used for broccoli and it's retarded cousin. Never once seen it used for something else in general sense unless you think cauliflower is a real difference. I'm curious though Anon as I like this pasta shape a lot.

>>15427685
Fpbp

>>15429268
YES orecchiette master race

>>15429781
Penne or spirals.

>>15433463
Al dente is literally meant for pasta that is cooked more than once. You know, slightly undercooked so that the second cooking gets you pasta that is actually cooked.

>>15433608
>slimy
what? why is there slime on your spaghetti?

>>15431555
this. I fucking HATE this fat faggot piece of shit
