Foodie Question of the Day

What is your favorite type of pasta?
(spaghetti, linguine, farfalle, penne, cavatappi etc etc)

Mine use to be penne and my husband use to be spaghetti but I think since I forced him to eat so much penne he switched over to penne and I got sick of it! Aint that a stinker! HAHA

Now I prefer spaghettini (thin spaghetti) instead. I also have a thing for linguine too. Pioneer Woman’s Asian Noodle Salad is to die for! If I am not making dessert for a potluck party, friends and family request the Asian Noodle Salad. Everytime.

I’m actually *gasp* not a huge pasta fan. If I had to pick a fav, it would be a tie between angel hair, linguine, and bow-tie

Hm, well, I haven’t met a pasta that I don’t like, but I mainly cook penne, angel hair, and linguine. I love me some pasta!

Not gonna lie – my favorite are the mini bowtie and mini penne that Barilla came out with just a little while ago. So little and so cute :)

Rotini or some other spiral. I can only have the gluten free stuff now, so I can’t eat what I really like. The potato/rice pasta seems to have the least gross taste to it.

Actually I made a GF pasta last week that was more like an egg noodle, but it was almost as good as the “real” stuff.

ALL of them. I have yet to meet a pasta I didn’t love. (I’m Italian, I think its in my blood) :)

although I typically cook farfalle or rotini because that’s what the hubs likes

I like ziti, penne, and rotini because I think the sauce adheres to them really well.

shit i didn’t mean to hit enter yet

Angel Hair or penne, but it depends on what I’m making. Certain things need certain types of pasta. For example you wouldn’t make angel hair pasta mac n cheese.

Farfalle for me, or shells. I used to love the shells with just some melted butter back in high school. Yum!

Love the mini pastas that are out now, especially the little shells. And my son loves the little pastas since they are easy to eat for him. He likes to play with the bowties.

For short pastas, penne is my favorite, followed by farfalle. For long pastas, angel hair. I hate thick spaghetti.

Ziti has to be my favorite! It’s pretty hard to find around my place… but I find there’s something so comforting about them, I’d go to the other end of the city to find them.

Ziti are the large and plump tubes that are as long as spaghetti.

Thanks for asking Clara!

I like cavatappi (the corkscrews) and bucatini (which are like long tubes). But I’ll eat pretty much any of them!
