OK what pasta is best and which is worst?
Tap for her results, SFW
Mac and cheese was the most fuckable, followed by tortelliniBut for eating, IMO penne is the best and shells are the worst.
you're wrong and you should feel bad and you've made an enemy for life penne is awful and shouldn't even exist and if I had a time machine I'd go back and kill the creator to rid this world of such a terrible pasta shape fusilli is best
I actually quite like Fusilli (although I know it as Rotini). And really I meant to say penne rigate, i.e. penne with ridges. Penne Lisce and Ziti are C tier at best. Fusilli and Penne Rigate both have sauce-friendly shapes.
Personally, I like my pastas cylindrical because the sauce can take advantage of the topology of the noodle (it has a hole where the sauce can go inside). It seems like Fusilli attempts to solve the problem with a simpler topology, i.e. by basically twisting a flat noodle. And it does a great job at it!
