so long as you enjoy it! in my experience, whole wheat penne or rotini isn't bad, but ww spaghettis and linguine doesn't do it for me0 -

I like whole wheat pasta (which I prefer depends on the sauce), but I also just realized I generally don't prefer long skinny pastas like spaghetti or linguine or angel hair. Prefer others like penne, rotini, farfalle, etc.0 -

Ohhh, the pasta shape is a CONSTANT battle in my house. My husband prefers long skinny pasta, and I prefer shapes.
We have both had to compromise. I vetoed angel hair and he vetoed penne/mostaccioli/anything tube-like.
So, we alternate between spaghetti (which I tolerate), and rotini or farfalle (which he tolerates).
He gets excited when I say I'm making pasta for dinner, but looks crestfallen when he sees that it's "shapes" night.
He's got a gluten intolerance, so we get gluten-free pasta and I can't taste the difference at all.3 -

Why is this so cute? I'm sorry, I'm just laughing imagining him getting all disappointed that it's going to be "shapes."3 -

why does pasta even come in a variety of shapes? genuine question, as it all tastes the same?0 -

I think, traditionally, different shapes were paired with different types of sauces, or in soups or other dishes. There is a difference in the way the shapes hold certain sauces and other ingredients.8 -

Right?!1 -
Sometimes - actually, who am I kidding? - quite often, when it is cold or I can't seem to keep warm and I want a fresh salad, I end up heating up that salad in the microwave.
If you're anything like my Mom, I reckon warm lettuce and cucumbers might appall you.

As a noncook, I miss top ramen. It's one of those things I had to give up because one serving will ALWAYS be two bricks for me.1
