Pasta is pretty much the same no matter what shape it is, but is there a type you like more than any other? I like raviolis the best, but I don't have them that often. When I have them, I eat them pretty quickly I guess. I think I like pasta in any format, but certain pasta dishes I like more than others. I am having regular ol spaghetti tonight, although this is the pot shaped spaghetti that is half sized. If you do have a favorite pasta or pasta dish, why do you like it?

I prefer a linguini pasta form, but I like all but angel hair, otherwise. Pesto is my favorite sauce, and I wish I could eat it all the time. I had a shrimp, asparagus, pesto pasta dish before that was probably my favorite. That, or seafood portofino.

@snowy22315 Oh, it was. I remember being in the hospital years and years ago, and a family friend said he’d bring me any dish from any restaurant. I immediately said seafood portofino from The Olive Garden.

I had a chicken carbonara with penne pasta last week. It was yum!

Linguini or fettuccini for me. I don't know why I prefer them over macaroni or spaghetti or the rest of the pastas.

@toniganzon I don't prefer angel hair either, but it does cook fast.

@snowy22315 Probably. Because I dislike angel hair pasta. I'm ok with spaghetti.

I like it all , but if I have to pick one, I do like sea shell noodles a lot.

Do you prefer the larger or smaller ones? The larger ones are good for stuffed shells, but the smaller ones are good for mac and cheese.

I like both meat and cheese ravioli, I make them at home. There are some shapes of pasta I dislike because the outside tend to overcook when the inside remains still too hard. The egg pasta I like more is fettuccine, the durum wheat pasta penne rigate and maccheroni.

I haven't seen maccheroni in the stores here, but there is an Italian store near where my sister lives. It is huge, and if anybody has it, they would. I thought you would like to see it Anna.

@snowy22315 Thank you for the link, pretty store, the olives are as we have them in all our Italian supermarkets. This is a photo of the cheese sector of the Italian grocery store where I go to buy.

I guess my favorite is elbow macaroni because they are easy to eat and can be eaten in many different ways. I love elbow macaroni, with tuna, and a cheese sauce casserole,

I love macaroni salad, made with boiled eggs and spiral macaroni. Goulash? I like it best with spiral macaroni. I love ravioli, yummy! I don't care for angel hair spaghetti.

@snowy22315 As it implies, it's like eating thick strands of hair.

@snowy22315 Neither am I. Plain and simple is good enough for me.

I have a form of pasta for every favorite pasta dish. For pasta Salad I use shell pasta, for mac and cheese I use elbow macaroni. For Alfredo I use fettuccine or spaghetti and of course spaghetti or linguine for pasta and meatballs. Lasagna speaks for itself.

I like Ziti or Penne. I even like corkscrew pasta, fusili I believe it is called.

I love pasta but do not have it often, as it's just so hard not to eat too much of it...and it's so good!

I am very careful with the quantity I eat. It is very easy to get carried away.

It certainly is for me. I love pasta. But I, too, limit my portions of it as well.

I like fusilli, shell pasta and spaghettini. I mostly prefer pasta with red sauce and lots of olives. Something like arabiatta or puttanesca.

I haven't eaten it often with olives, but I like olives so I would enjoy this.
