My favourite pasta shapes have always been penne and bow-ties, but I also love spaghetti, macaroni and fettuccine! The little shells and pastina are also so nice in soup, and I love fun little shapes like alphabet and animals as well!!
Other than the traditional spaghetti my store has penne, fettucine and fusilli pasta. I really like the pastas that are full of ingredients like ravioli and tortellini. In terms of meat dishes, lasagna is my favourite. Any pasta with basil pesto usually wins my heart as well.
I'd say bow-tie first. Yummy to throw together with some veggies and mushrooms.
Second most I voted ravioli because I love a good mushroom cheese ravioli.
My favorites are a 'tie' between the Bow-tie pasta and Penne pasta (no pun intended).
But my favorite way of how pasta is cooked is when the pasta is cooked al dente style. And the pairing of al dente pasta with any kind of pasta sauce topped with herbs is when the pasta is really good to eat.
