When I first seen a pasta dish, I thought it was a spaghetti but to my surprise they say that it was a pasta. I was clueless at that time. But over the time I figured out the difference between the two. I think pasta has many flavors than the spaghetti. But I also love spaghetti specially with too many cheese and sauce on it. Now, I'm craving for pasta. How about you? Spaghetti or Pasta?

Actually, spaghetti is a form of pasta (Italian origin). So, I guess you mean -- whether we prefer spaghetti or another kind of pasta?
Since pasta varieties are usually distinguished according to their shapes (spaghetti is long and cylindrical, lasagna is rectangular and sheet-like, macaroni is shaped like a curved bean that's hollow, etc.), my preference depends on its sauce.
Now that I think about it... I like ziti the best. It's a kind of pasta that's tube-like. I like ones that are cut on a diagonal on both sides, like a pen, with ridges on them. When we make ziti, it's usually with a tomato-based sauce and the shape really gets much of the sauce -- you get a lot of flavor with each bite. BON APPETIT! :D
