>best pasta
>not radiatori

spogelletini

I would absolutely agree with this but honestly I'd put ziti higher than penne. Ziti seems more substanial while penne kinda feels...flabby.

I like penne with a meat sauce.

Farfalle master race here.

Depends on the sauce. For thick sauces I like rotini as the sauce gets stuck in the grooves. For think sauces, a pasta with a lot of surface area like linguine or angel hair work well.

Literally the best pasta right here

anything but tagliatelle is shit tier

Campanelle master race

Idiot, those are clearly Italian enchiladas.

PACCHERIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

>best pasta shape
>best
You fucking idiot.

>ctrl f
>no bucatini

God damn it it's like you people aren't even Trying!

For serious tho, the best pasta dish I've ever had was anchovies, melted in olive oil with garlic and red pepper, with bucatini tossed in, finished with pecarino. So fuckin good

no string can be best, they're awful to eat.
rigatoni of course

>not comprehending that different pasta shapes work better for different sauces

Everything that is not Tagliatelle a shit.

A good pasta needs a good surface-contact with the tongue, enough resistance to the teeth, and good aesthetics with little work.

Penne is my fav. It has the best texture.

thick spaghetti

Orecchiette is great too.

...

>aesthetics
That word again, Veeky Forums.

Elbow macaroni > All other pastas

Its not its spaetzle

Gnocchi, tagliatelle and lasagne are egg pasta, not only flour and water so you can't really rank them among the others

Wtf gnocchi are made with potatoes
