Mine is orzo. It’s slippery and it should grow a spine and be either pasta or rice but not both.

    Honestly, spaghetti

    If you’re Italian, sorry for the stroke

        Spaghetti is not my favorite either, but if the pasta you’re using is not holding onto the sauce, then try a “bronze die cut” brand.

        The brand I use and have had good luck with is Delallo.

        But I completely agree with you, pasta that has a smooth exterior is useless. Since the whole point of it is to be a vehicle for the sauce.

          Thanks for the info! I’d never heard of bronze die cut before. I’ve been buying De Cecco, so it’s validating to see that it’s one of these bronze cut pastas. I always knew it was better than Barilla! Lol

      same.

      I still love them.

      But compared to other pasta? Too boring.

      💯 Spaghetti, linguine, and similarly shaped pastas are the worst form factor. It holds virtually no sauce, which is the highlight of most pasta dishes. Conversely, spirals, wagon wheels, and texas shaped pastas are great because they have very high sauce:pasta ratios.
