I love pretty much anything pasta, but my all time favorite has to be spaghetti!
Angel hair with butter and salt.
When I was younger, my best friend and I had a routine of him coming over to my house after school every Friday at 4:30 (an hour after I got home from school).
We would play for a while, sometimes board games, sometimes SingStar, sometimes Dance Dance Revolution. (Both of the last two are PlayStation games involving us singing or dancing.)
After playing for a while, my mom would get home and start cooking dinner which would be ravioli for my friend, and angel hair and stir fried tofu for us (plus a salad for me). Sometimes while we were waiting, we would watch this videotape which has a collection of Madonna music videos on it. My grandma got it for me at a local library book sale.
After dinner was ready, we’d all convene in the living room to watch a movie (with pauses for seconds, of course). Once we did a double feature with The Wedding Singer and one other movie.
Then after dinner, my mom would make us ice cream shakes with just mugs, spoons, ice cream and some vegan milk for my friend and dairy milk for us.
And that was our routine. Every Friday. :)Put me down for lasagna.
My girlfriend and I frequent a restaurant, Il Porto, in Old Town Alexandria - northern Virginia in the suburbs of Washington, DC. We get the same candlelit table and I order the same thing.
Tanqueray and tonic, bread, dinner salad with extra Italian dressing, and lasagna. No desert except the weekend we go closest to my birthday. (Otherwise we go after dinner to one of two ice cream stores in walking distance from the restaurant.)
So habitual am I that they don't even bother to give me a menu anymore. Though to keep them guessing, my girlfriend will vary her orders week to week.
Anyhow, it is an extraordinary restaurant and the lasagna is, as the expression goes, to die for. Highly recommend the lasagna - and the restaurant. Not on Friday nights, though - that is date night for Nightdrot and his girlfriend.I like Penne one of my favorite dishes an Italian dish is made with Penne. I Also quite enjoy Pasta Alle Vongole with steamed clams in a garlic herb sauce, quite good. I also quite enjoy Fettuccine with either Alfredo (or al burro as it's known) or seafood.
I like Spaghetti , Rigatoni's , Seashells,
Pasta tastes like pasta if there is no sauce. Regardless of shape.
If I'm using a tomato based sauce, I like angel hair pasta as it seems to absorb the sauce better for leftovers. For a dairy based (alfredo) sauce, linguini or fettuccine, as they give more firmness for the heavier, thicker sauce. Add in meatballs or other meats, and it changes the whole equation, though.Add a lot of cheese - and any pasta will be my favourite.
Fusilli (Grandma called them 'Radiator Noodles)and Macaroni range highest to me.
I’m going to be a big baby and say Mac and Cheese but I also love tomato cheese pasta bake far better than fancy 5* Italian pasta which never really tastes as good as homemade pasta anyway.
Anti-pasto with no olives https://www.tasteofhome.com/recipes/antipasto-platter/
Creamy beef paprikash with knöpfle dumplings.
Knöpfle aren't exactly pasta, but they are better than pasta.I believe best pasta is the one that escapes the fork the worst.. I hate pastalinis ninjaing their way off my fork.
I like different types of pasta but I don't like pasta sauce so my go to is either straight Parmesan cheese for pesto sauce.
I like the spiral pasta but if we are talking dishes, spaghetti done right with cheese can be amazing but a good lasagna is up there for me
Different dishes call for different shapes of pasta. Generally speaking though, I'm good with linguine or a plain spaghetti. For a lighter dish, I like angel hair or cappelini. Stuffed shells are awesome too !
Fettuccine Alfredo or the Chicken and Shrimp Carbonara 😍😍😍
I don't know the names of all of them but every kind I've had I've really liked. I really like Italian food.
Now I'm hungry. Lol 😁Cavatappi with almost any decent sauce.
Pede Brothers Cheese ravioli w/my own sauce. (you can get it at Dollar Tree- surprisingly good for a dollar).I’m not someone who knows too much about pasta, but from what I know I’ll say fettuccine Alfredo
Either lasagna, or spaghetti. I like them both equally with Tabasco sauce.
Carbonara as a meal.
Literally any "type" of pasta I love.
