    Lots of americans from these answers but it entirely depends on the sauce. Some types of pasta dont necessarily work with certain dishes. Some sauces work with multiple types… try making a carbonara with penne or a mac and cheese which seems to be a popular choice here with spaghetti, they just wont work as dishes. Maybe some people jist eat the same pasta dish all the type and thats how they are basimg their answers.

    For mac and cheese: medium shells, ditalini
    For red sauce pasta: medium shells, rotini
    For pasta alfredo: medium shells, fettuccine

    So I guess you could say my favorite pasta is potato gnocchi

    Rotini holds lots of whatever sauce plus seems like a great consistency - substantial but not solid

      First time I was in a sex shop was together with my parents to buy some penis shaped pasta to bring home as a joke gift for my brother.

    Lasagna plates if that counts. If not Macaroni. Compromise between shelf space per serving and ease of getting the portion size right (1.25dl raw, 2.5dl cooked). Contender is spaghetti which wins on shelf space but I always end up with too much or too little without resorting to the kitchen scales.

    I find the larger variants are hard to get a good mix of sauce and pasta in your mouth regardless if you use a spoon or fork.

    Farfalle, because its also a firework. If im not taking fireworks into consideration I’d have to say rigatoni, they have a good heft to them and take on sauce well. Good with butter and hot sauce.

    Spaghetti/capellini/linguini. Wrapping pasta on the fork is part of the fun!

    Alternatively, fusilli.

    Penne and other hollow variations are among the least favorite because they can retain a bit of water inside and getting that onto your tongue is not fun.
