I love all types of pasta. However, my favorite is penne. I dislike gnocchi the most because it is to heavy and potato-filled. What's your favorite?

I love almost every pasta, so this will be hard. I think that I would go with the angle hair pasta. And I especially like it flavored with herbs and spices in olive oil.

Funny how all pasta is made basically the same, but we are sold on size and texture! Well I like macaroni and fettucini noodles best. Although I cook with all types depending on the type and style of the meal.

My favourite changes from time to time! I really like macaroni, depending on the sauce really. If it's a casserole-style dish, definitely macaroni. I've been eating a lot of tortiglioni lately, so that would be my current favourite.

I'd have to agree that my choices also change depending on the sauce. If it's a clingy sauce then I like rotini as there are many places for the sauce to cling to. A chunkier sauce I prefer a flatter pasta. this way the pasta becomes another "piece" in the sauce. When I have a sauce that is somewhat "soupy", as in macaroni and cheese I like something that will hold the sauce, like regular macaroni or a penne.
